Amanda Immurs, hailing from Hamilton, Canada, grounds her paintings in representation, depicting conceived spaces and moments in time. Her works feature unusual and whimsical scenes of children and animals, reflecting her interest in the innocent nature of her subjects. Immurs prides herself on capturing a sense of personality and bringing life to her paintings through careful planning and several layers of paint and glaze.
Immurs received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from McMaster University and continued her education at Sheridan College in their crafts and design program, concentrating on textiles. Primarily a representational oil painter, she draws inspiration from her surroundings. Her combination of training has led her to create tactile pieces that reflect upon the layers of everyday life.
In 2013, some of Immurs’ images were used to create banners that were hung on Hamilton’s King William Street Artists Walk. Shortly after, Amanda was chosen to paint a giant soccer ball in celebration of the 2015 Pan Am Games. More recently, another painting of Amanda’s was selected to use as a banner image to celebrate Canada’s 150th year. These new banners of a girl blowing a dandelion were displayed around Hamilton’s downtown core.
Amanda Immurs’ work can be found in various collections across Canada and the United States.
