Amanda Kavanagh
"As a landscape oil painter, I am interested in exploring themes of transition and contrast in nature, and capturing often overlooked moments in everyday scenes. For me, painting is a form of meditation and, if I am lucky, an opportunity to witness that fleeting moment between the ordinary and extraordinary. My recent work in charcoal and graphite has allowed me to better capture this feeling of nature’s unpredictability."
Amanda Kavanagh grew up in the Hudson River village of Dobbs Ferry NY. She received a BFA in illustration from Syracuse University. After many years working as a graphic designer in Manhattan, Kavanagh decided to return to my passion – painting and drawing. She has been exhibiting my work in various east coast galleries since 2006. She is currently based out of Brooklyn, New York.
