About the Artists
AMANDA HOSKIN studed at Falmouth and Chelsea Art School before spending several years working as a wildlife illustrator. Although she enjoyed such detailed work she felt that she needed a change of direction and decided to do something totally different. Her love of sailing had always been a very important part of her life and during her art school years she would always race down to her boat on a Friday afternoon for a sail. Her decision to become a sailing instructor was thus not a total surprise. This life style change allowed her to work in the summer months as an instructor and to travel and paint in the winter months.
In the late 90�s she moved to Fowey with her husband and daughter and began to paint seriously using a different techniques and mediums. Over the last few years her work has developed and changed into the instantly recognisable style which has bought her international acclaim.
