Amanda Mayrhofer in the studio, October 2010.

I am an artist who draws inspiration from the natural environment.  I work with a range of mediums from photography, painting and drawing with pastels and charcoals.  I am currently working on a series that explores the colours and forms found in flora.  The artists that have influenced my works are Tim Maguire and Georgia O' Keefe.  I have also been using macro photography to reveal the  secret little “hidden gems” found hiding in flowers and to capture these images and reproduce them further as  paintings and drawings.
