Amanda Burton
I have a deep-rooted love of nature borne from many childhood hours spent playing outdoors in the tropical climes of Malaysia.
I search for beauty when I paint, working in a way that respects and celebrates chance. The environment, events, relationships and feelings are always a point of reference though the paintings are not confined to them.
The unconventional has always attracted me and the challenge of mastering unusual material combinations is alluring. It’s a journey of experimentation and subsequent discovery.
Art is akin to a scientific process, it is alchemy, and I allow the behaviours and properties of the materials I choose to use guide my work.

"I love black ink and large canvasses. The two combined is just wonderful!"
Connection to Yorkshire
After relocating from Wiltshire I came to Leeds to study Biochemistry at Leeds University and never left. I have now lived in Leeds for 30 years with my partner, recently joined by Picasso the cat.
