The Artist. Mandy Amos
In 2009, after suffering life changing surgery, which rendered me chronically ill and prevented me from returning to my 20 year career as a Hairdresser; I decided to fulfil my childhood dream of studying Art.
Mainly to restore my confidence and to act as a diversion to the constant pain I now had to come to terms with.
So I enrolled on the ‘Portfolio’ Art course at South Devon College; to see what I could achieve by positively focusing my mind on something new; despite my body continually letting me down.
From there things have taken off:
Having just graduated from my second year Foundation Arts Degree and starting up my new business; whilst studying for my third year Honours degree at Plymouth University.
I was fortunate to be able to display my work at this years ‘New Designers’ exhibition, in London. At which I had one of the highest accolades in being one of only a few chosen from over 1000 exhibitors to be invited back next year to the prestigious ‘New Designers One year on’ 2013.
If you are interested in any of my work or would like to ask me any questions please do.
