Amanda Hall studied graphic art and illustration at Cambridge School of Art. now Anglia Ruskin University. Brimming with colour, decoration and fantasy creatures, her pictures have mostly been created by a technique that combines pencil crayon and watercolour ink, although she is now working in other media too. The inspiration for Amanda’s work comes from cultures all over the world, including the roots of myths, legends and fairy tales which are part of the powerful historical inheritance of North and South America, Europe, Africa and India.
Like many illustrators, Amanda works in a timber shed The Shadowhouse, at the bottom of her magical secret garden - shown left. She likes cats, curious aardvarks and big cups of tea though not always in that order.
When not illustrating Amanda enjoys turning gardens and interiors into fantasy spaces, in her other life she also performs as a singer.
