Amanda Whewell

Peak Art Cyber Café Exhibition
14 April-26 May 2004

This will be Amanda's third exhibition in as many years at the popular and lively Peak Art Cyber Café in New Mills.

The inspiration for the exhibition is the rugged volcanic landscape and beautiful flora of the Island of Tenerife. Amanda spent time travelling around the Island during the winter; from the awe inspiring heights of Mount Teide to the stunning and colourful flora to be found at lower levels around the Island.

Working from sketches and photographs of her visit Amanda's interpretation is contemporary and abstract in style using acrylics, metallics and gilding to give texture, colour and feeling to her art.


The Artist

After leaving the warmer climes of South East England Amanda now lives in New Mills with her husband and three children.
Since moving to the North West Amanda embarked on a total career change, moving from a management position in IT to retrain as a freelance creative designer utilising a variety of art and craft techniques.

Over the past thirteen years Amanda has studied art and craft and led successful craft workshops at Hobbycraft and the Mottram based Card Creation Company. Amanda has also made guest appearances on Granada TV's 'Simply DIY'

Amanda runs a wide variety of mobile workshops tailored to suit your requirements. These include working in primary and secondary schools (either as a curriculum based lesson or as a fun activity), youth groups (Brownies, Guides, youth clubs etc) and other groups or clubs - all ages and abilities!

Also available are talks and demonstrations with a 'hands on' option suitable for W.I., social clubs, University of the Third Age to name but a few. Or how about a 'training the trainers' session, giving new ideas to group leaders, teachers (inset sessions), childminders etc. enabling you to run successful craft groups yourself.

Amanda has ventured into selling her much sought after art via electronic auctioning (ebay.co.uk and search for Amanda Whewell) with many pieces of her art going to collectors around the world.
