Amanda Hoskin
Amanda's early creative career was spent working as a wildlife illustrator in London, painting in great detail she learnt her subject well, yet in the early 1990's on her return to live in Cornwall, an interest and passion for painting Landscapes began to grow and led her towards a new creative path. Focusing on skies and the Cornish coast, Amanda experimented with various techniques and mediums working in a more expressive and fluid way, paying close attention to detail of light, she soon found her own impressionistic style that her work is known for today.
