AMANDA ATKINSON
ARTWORK
Atkinson’s creative process is motivated by a deep fixation with her surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the rugged and elemental qualities of the west coast, her work seeks to capture the essence of this landscape through a reductionist approach, distilling forms to their most basic elements.
By stripping away the extraneous details, she can focus on the relationship between objects and the space that surrounds them, allowing her to explore the tension and interplay between positive and negative space.
Through her works’ distinctly clean and abstract compositions, she strives to share her connection to this landscape and invite viewers to experience the beauty of the West Coast in a new and contemplative way.
Amanda Atkinson is an abstract painter, who works primarily with oil and western red cedar on canvas. She studied Fine Art at Georgian College, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

Born in Ontario, Amanda now calls British Columbia home. Before settling in Vancouver, she spent time living on Vancouver Island’s West coast; a significant landscape that has largely impacted her work.
