ABOUT
Mandy's paintings are characterised by spontaneous, sweeping energy flows. She explores colour, space and the materiality of the paint creating dynamic gestures immersing the viewer in the motion of the bold brushstrokes.
Leaving a career as a lawyer, Mandy began studying painting in 2014 at Browne School of Art and since 2018 works from the 'Studio 6 Artists' space in downtown Auckland. She regularly shows in solo and group exhibitions.
Motivating Mandy in her art making is the freedom to allow her intuition to come to the forefront embracing the tussle between spontaneity and control. She intertwines embodied subjectivity, emotions and senses with intentional paint application. Viewers are invited to focus on their individuality to see what feelings and emotions their visual experience elicits.
