Impressive Impressionism From Huddersfield's Amanda Castle | Alternative Fruit

Amanda Castle - Wasteland

Amanda Castle paints and draws fantastic images that strike us with their ephemeral moments captured in fiery and evocative splendour. The creation of such wonderful and arresting work lays in the culmination of a long journey. Since leaving school with very little to her name, Amanda Castle has refused to stop climbing as continual ladders have made themselves apparent.

Although she is dyslexic, Amanda's art teacher had seeded the beginnings of a fantastic art career by recognising her certain potential. When she was 18, Amanda found the confidence to attend art classes in her home of Huddersfield, where she eventually went on to take up a BTEC in art and design. This was soon joined by an A-level in art and then later, a full Art Degree from Bradford College.

As she rises in the world of art, Amanda Castle has featured in many venues and exhibitions. Always looking for further reach, her creativity is finding itself at home further and further afield. Some of her highlights so far have been playing a leading role in Longley Special School's art and local history project, a mural for a local nursery, and for the art group Artists In Mind.
