Amanda Lingwood is originally from the B.C. coast but has spent most of her life in Calgary, Alberta. Her fascination with nature began at a very young age, collecting rocks, bones, plants, and anything else she found beautiful, strange, or interesting.

Over time, art became a steady anchor in a world she once struggled to keep up with. Learning to slow down, pay attention, and follow what feels meaningful has allowed Amanda to translate the way she sees and experiences the world into visual form.

Her process is highly tactile and layered, building depth through careful mark-making and an ongoing exploration of materials. The result is work that feels textured, curious, and a little bit alive.

Amanda’s work explores the relationship between humans and nature, with a particular fascination for our profound dependence on the plant world. Drawing from her love of botanical curiosities, natural history, and the strange beauty found in overlooked things, she uses art to explore the places where nature, the human body, and the mysterious intersect.

Through her practice, Amanda hopes to honour our connection to the natural world and invite others to slow down, look closer, and notice the magic hiding in plain sight.
