Christine Brunnock grew up and continues to live in St Ives, Cornwall. She draws inspiration from her surroundings, the Cornish Coast, which is infused with her emotional response. She mainly uses acrylic paint to express herself through atmospheric and energetic paintings. She was shortlisted for the Evening Standard Art Prize 2018 and won the ING Discerning Eye Purchase Prize in 2023.
Amanda's work is inspired by the landscape around her home, in the far west of Cornwall, where ancient wild moor land is peppered with ancient sites, hut circles and old mine workings, a powerful place she says to charge her creative energy.
I am inspired by a vivid awareness of the sea, which surrounds Penwith almost as an island, the turning seasons and our mineral-rich land where man has mined metals for millennia.
- Amanda Rawlins.
Amanda's art is hand-made using traditional techniques, as craftspeople have done for hundreds of years. Each piece she creates is unique.
