About Amanda Dagg

 
 
  • Biography
    As an artist, my life is a testament to the power of passion and creativity. The act of painting unlocks a love for life within me that is unrivalled by any other pursuit. Each stroke of my brush is a celebration of nature, a force that has been my primary source of inspiration since my childhood. From the subtle beauty of flowers to the majestic sight of changing seasons, from serene forest explorations to star-gazing on clear nights, nature's bounty is my muse. 

    Engaging in activities like bird watching and mountain climbing fuel my creativity, while reflective practices like meditation soothe my soul and recenter my focus. The sea is my sanctuary, a place where I can swim my thoughts away and emerge with fresh ideas. Then there are those lazy days spent in wild meadows, where time seems to stand still and I can simply be, surrounded by the raw beauty of life.

     To paint is to breathe for me - a necessity, rather than a choice. Every day, I wake up steeped in gratitude for being able to follow my heart and dedicate my life to this beautiful form of expression. The thought of a life without painting is unimaginable - it's an integral part of my identity, my joy, and my way of sharing positivity with the world. My purpose extends beyond creating visually appealing art pieces. 

    My mission is to infuse my work with an energetic vibe that uplifts and inspires others, turning viewers into participants in the joyous celebration of life. Through my art, I aim to not only depict the world but also to enrich it, one painting at a time.

    Venue: Malvern Theatres, Malvern, Worcestershire

    It is rare for a successful artist to paint in many different styles. The public will easily recognise a Monet, a Freud or even a Hockney. As ever it is the exception which proves the rule. So, for example, Picasso is known for multiple styles, but even he had periods where all the work being produced at any one time was stylistically similar.

    The three artists opening the new show at Malvern Theatres are all recognisable instantly because they all paint in a practised and recognisable style.

    Amanda Dagg is amongst the best sellers from the online gallery www.artgallery.co.uk from which all the works on show are chosen. She relishes in the freshness of nature although her work does not attempt realism in the traditional sense.

    She hails from South Wales and as well as producing an amazing quantity of work, she helps run a community-led gallery in the area. She has successfully shown in the Theatre many times over the last few years.
