"I love colour! My art allows me to extend this passion and create quirky, happy paintings useing the pastel medium"
Amandas cards are made from photos of her original works. She has been painting in watercolours for 20 years however now find the pastel medium gives the brilliant colour bursts that work best with her quirky subject matter. Her inspiration is drawn from local coastal scenes and from photographs taken on her overseas travels. Amanda's greatest inspiration is from the fabulous art of David Hockney and Picasso who always see the world just a bit differently..

Katerina Apale nurtured her artistic abilities at the Art Academy of Latvia before participating in an exchange program at the Berlin University of the Arts (Erasmus). In Latvia she completed her Master's degree in Fine Arts in 2008.
Katerina's move to Australia in 2014 sparked a new phase in her art. The stunning Australian landscapes inspired her diverse paintings, which range from vibrant to subtle, and encompass both ornamental and realistic styles, showcasing her wide range of creative influences.
