Amanda Ansell (born 1976) is an English artist. She studied Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts between 1995 and 1998 and then at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London from 1998 to 2000.[1] After living in London for seven years, she returned to her native Suffolk in 2006 to begin an artist residency at Firstsite, Colchester. The same year, a body of work was selected for exhibition at Kettles Yard, Cambridge and she was nominated for Jerwood Contemporary Painters.[2]
Her paintings are abstract and make use of a limited palette to explore the relationship between artist and nature.[3]
