Amanda Dagg is a talented artist revered for her vibrant and expressive artwork. Born and nurtured in the creative landscapes of Wales, UK, She recently made a life-changing move to the stunningly picturesque Okanagan, British Columbia, in the summer of 2019. Over the years, my paintings have been widely recognized and celebrated, earning features in numerous prizes, publications, and exhibitions across the UK. "Art to me is more than a craft; it's a personal journey allowing me to stay authentic and true to myself," says Amanda. Her passion for expression is evident in every brushstroke, as she strives to encapsulate the sublime energy of nature and the pervasive feelings of optimism in her work. With a keen interest in exploring the full potential of different mediums, She has developed a unique style using acrylics. She creates thick, textural layers of paint that add an unmistakable depth and tangible quality to her pieces. Each painting she creates is not just a piece of art; it's a part of her, reflecting her journey, her passions, and her unwavering belief in the transformative power of art. 

As an artist, my life is a testament to the power of passion and creativity. 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 fuels my creativity, while reflective practices like meditation soothe my soul and recenter my focus. The sea is my sanctuary, 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 the raw beauty of life can surround me.

 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, joy, and 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.
