About the Artist

Amanda Woodcock is a painter - watercolour and acrylic. Writing and photography play an important role in her practice as forms of documenting and storing information and imagery.

Memory, familiarity and nostalgia are areas of interest and are often themes in Woodcock's practice.  Explorations of past, identity and desire are born out of the aforementioned themes and studied through her painting processes.

Amanda Woodcock currently lives and works out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
