Mandy is a Canadian artist whose paintings focus on the beauty of the human form. She combines wild brushwork techniques with areas of careful control, balancing the ethereal emotions and senses of the female model with the more solid aspects of her physical form. “The characters in my paintings were always meant to be emotive, to communicate the depths of human experience through universal gestures and expressions.”
Mandy says, “My work revolves around the female figure. Ever since I was a young girl, surrounded by literature, magazines, and comics which depicted captivating women, I’ve felt the desire to both emulate and override the imagery that informs my view of what it is to be a woman. As I become more aware of the world around me, I feel a responsibility to present the viewer with something new and, possibly, challenging. The characters in my paintings are meant to be emotive, to communicate personal stories that are open to interpretation by the viewer in whatever way speaks to them. My hope is that they will come away with a new understanding of themselves and the people around them.”
