Amanda Trought

I am a 6 times Award Winning Artist, living in London and Barbados. As an Artist I have been creating for over 20 years, and collaborating with a variety of artists and a number of projects around the world in group as well as solo exhibitions in London UK, Barbados and Montserrat. I received Awards for my sculptures in the National Independence Festival of Creative Arts (NIFCA) 2018 & 2017, and more recently in the 2018 Central Bank Crop Over Visual Arts Festival I won an Incentive and Best In Show Awards for my sculptural art and textile wall hangings, both festivals were held in Barbados. I have also had my work published in 3 books - Zen Doodles – Tons of Tangles, Zen Doodles – Oodles of Doodles and 1000 Dog Portraits, and also The Nation’s Better Health Magazine on the effects of Arts and Health.

my interests lay in using a variety of materials such as clay, fabric, recycled materials and collage to create the art and tell a story t through the use of colour and texture. I am allso passionate how the art can tell stories juxtapose with the viewers own stories and experiences.
