Stroke

 Amanda suffered from a stroke in late 2016. It weakened her left side, leaving her with limited movement in the left arm, hand and leg. As part of her recovery she sketched every day, alternating between hands to strengthen the left one. She generated a body of work during this period from spring to autumn 2017, and beyond. The results were exhibited at her house and studio during Frome Open Studios 2018. Her drawing from this series, Daffodils, was exhibited at Mount’s 2019 exhibition To The Fore alongside artists such as Anita Taylor, Mark Karasick and Christopher Bucklow.
