Amanda Tomasoa

New Zealand artist Amanda Tomasoa creatively bridges cultural divides, drawing inspiration from firsthand encounters with poverty during volunteer travels. Advocating for the voiceless, pieces like "Sistas Helping Sistas" implore empathy and financial support for the less fortunate. Notably, this artwork adorned the Global Business Woman landing page on in the 2000s.
Amanda mainly works with acrylic on canvas but also does mixed media, digital art, and murals.
Since 2009, Amanda has thrived in the virtual world of Second Life®, Amanda aims to inspire others to rediscover their inner child. Exhibited on four continents, her art continues to grow globally.

Mainly Self Taught with One year distance learning with the Learning Connexion in Wellington, NZ
