Artist and tutor Amanda Owenson creates atmospheric coastal paintings inspired by the shifting skies, tidal light, and emotional pull of the Scottish shoreline. Working primarily in oils, her expressive seascapes balance energy and stillness, capturing not just a place, but a feeling — the sense of memory, nostalgia, calm, and connection that the sea so often evokes. Based in Scotland, Amanda’s work is deeply rooted in observation and emotion. Her paintings are known for their luminous skies, layered textures, and intuitive mark-making, often inspired by long coastal walks, changing weather, and moments of quiet reflection. Alongside her studio practice, she also teaches popular painting workshops and creative experiences, encouraging others to paint freely and emotionally, regardless of experience.
