Dark Harbourage

Amanda Lyon-Smith is an Award Winning, Mixed Media Artist who moves easily from serene coastal inspired seascapes to punchy, unique and bold Abstracts.

Born and bred in Devon, UK with a love of creating but a late-comer to the ‘Arty Party’ as the first Lockdown, proved to be the start of her professional artistic journey, where she joyfully decided to commit to it full-time and fulfil an un-imagined dream. So with a lifetime of diverse inspiration, bucket loads of imagination and a passionate love of Devon and its stunning coastline to draw from, her creative floodgates opened.

Most of Amanda‘s work is intuitive with initial loose and energetic mark making, using many tools and mediums, bouncing between the rules of composition and pure instinct. Her work is as multi-faceted and as colourful as her personality.

Amanda‘s work has been recognised for its uniqueness by many. Shortlisted for VAO Emerging Artist Award, exhibited in Madrid, picked for the amazing FLUX exhibition, in London.

So with several exhibitions, including 3 ‘Solo’s’ under her belt, her journey ahead is looking very exciting.
