Amanda Dagg

As an artist, I've dedicated nearly 20 years to painting pictures on canvas with the intention of bringing joy to the viewer. My recent recovery from illness has reignited my passion, propelling me to expand my business, income, and reach on social media, and to enhance my sales. I'm actively learning new skills and am committed to significant growth this year.

My creative journey is a testament to the transformative power of passion and creativity. Painting is more than a pursuit; it's a profound expression of love for life. Each brushstroke is a celebration of nature, my enduring wellspring of inspiration since childhood. From the delicate allure of flowers to the grandeur of changing seasons, from tranquil forest explorations to awe-inspiring nights under the stars, nature's abundance is my muse.

Engaging in activities such as birdwatching and mountain climbing fuels my creativity, while introspective practices like meditation soothe my soul and sharpen my focus. The sea is my sanctuary, where I can swim away my thoughts and resurface with fresh ideas. And then there are the idyllic days spent in wild meadows, where time seems to stand still, allowing me to simply exist amidst life's raw beauty.

To paint is to breathe for me - a necessity rather than a choice. Every day, I awaken with gratitude for the opportunity to follow my heart and dedicate my life to this beautiful form of expression. The idea of a life without painting is unimaginable; it's an integral part of my identity, a source of joy, and my way of sharing positivity with the world.

My purpose transcends creating visually appealing art pieces. It's my mission to infuse my work with an energetic vibe that uplifts and inspires others, transforming viewers into participants in the joyous celebration of life. Through my art, I endeavor not only to depict the world but also to enrich it, one painting at a time.

My hardship has made me deeply committed to my art. So much negativity is being bombarded on us via the news and media. I want my art to bring positivity and light to people's lives. There are several people in my life without them believing in me before I could visualize myself as a professional artist. Some famous artists inspire me; Ruben, Picasso, Vincent, and Klimt are amongst my favourites.
