Artist Statement
Her Dreamy Landscapes and Seascapes are Impressionistic with an unusual blend of expressive colour variation taking inspiration from Monet, Turner and Van Gogh, Hockney and Matisse. Her paintings have been described by the viewer as beautifully ethereal and that of a Colourist painter. The artist is fascinated with the changing elements of light through the day, the seasons, colour and nature.
Her Portraits become emotionally charged as the artist connects with the distinguishing characteristics of their personality using her energetic brush strokes to canvas the portrait begins to speak out to the viewer with human psyche. Inspired by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt and the realism of the Renaissance. The artist also inspired by the 60’s Pop Art Culture particularly that of Andy Warhol a style as seen in her paintings “Dorothy” “Marilyn Monroe and” “Audrey Hepburn” and “The Great British Mini”.

I my opinion Mandy’s work shows a wonderful command of multimedia and according to her whim, depending on if the piece is being produced for a gallery or a show, or to ‘follow the brief’, if a commissioned piece is required. Her versatility is such that her work varies from a fairly casual ‘broad stroke’ technique which can sometimes be enchantingly naïve, through to highly detailed, ‘precision’ work. I have seen many examples of Mandy's work, up close and I think ‘Art By Mandy’ - just the place for the longcase painted dial restoration work which often comes my way.

Just received my painting of my dog Nipper, very highly pleased the detail and the colors are perfect. I would recommend Art By Mandy to any one who requires a very professional piece of art.
not expensive but highly professional.
