Amanda Watt is an experienced artist with international exposure. Her paintings are vibrant interior scenes and semi-abstract figurative and landscape works. Watt is inspired by Gauguin’s neon colors, Japanese woodblock prints, cubism, and the expressionists’ use of color. She cites the pattern-making of Gustav Klimt and the highly stylized figures in Tom Wesselman and Alex Katz's paintings as influences, as well as Rainer Fetting’s use of bold color and gestural brushstrokes.
