AMANDA HOSKIN

Amanda Hoskin was born and grew up in Cornwall. After graduating from Falmouth School of Art & Design she became a freelance wildlife illustrator, working and living in London. Amanda combines technical mastery with 'fast and loose' expressive use of paint to capture the light and atmosphere of the landscape that she knows and loves so well. She returned to Cornwall in the early 1990s to become a sailing instructor, teaching mainly at Mylor, on the beautiful Fal estuary, through the summer months and travelling in winter. During this time she continued to paint, changing the medium from watercolour to oils. Her style became much freer and she began to concentrate on the changing skies and landscapes around her.
