Mandy Austin ‘IVY THE FOX’ original
Mandy is a Tamworth-based artist who has been painting since her early teens, with art remaining a constant throughout her life. Animals and wildlife are at the heart of her work, influenced by a life spent surrounded by much-loved animals. These subjects form the foundation of her visual language and continue to shape her practice.
Working primarily in watercolour and ink, Mandy creates paintings with a distinctive graphic style. Pattern, line, and detail play a central role in her compositions, giving the work both structure and movement. Her approach has developed gradually over the years and continues to evolve, resulting in work that feels considered, expressive, and deeply connected to nature.
