Amanda Sowersby

Amanda Sowersby is a Hawke’s Bay-based artist and art alchemist with over 30 years of creative exploration. Holding a Fine Arts degree (2005) and trained in artistic therapy, Amanda weaves healing, expression, and transformation into every piece she creates. Through her art school, Art & Alchemy, she shares her passion for creativity as a tool for self-discovery.

Amanda works in two distinctive styles: serene sea and sky scenes painted in acrylic, offering peace and emotional restoration, and playful, intuitive botanicals created with mixed media—acrylic, oil, leaf, pen, and ink. These vibrant pieces invite freedom from perfectionism, revealing layers and hidden forms that emerge over time.

Her latest body of work, Spirit Animal Expressions, merges these worlds—blending tranquil landscapes and botanical energy with deeper symbolic meaning. These pieces connect the viewer to their inner wisdom and animal spirit guides.

Amanda regularly exhibits and sells her work, creating soulful art that uplifts and inspires.
