Amanda Oosthuizen, who is an artist, lives in Wynberg in the Cape. She was recently in Aberdeen, where her paintings are now on display at “Moer-toe”, a local coffee shop/restaurant in Aberdeen. Amanda, who is a full time artist, studied textile design but painting has always been her first love.Two years ago, at Amanda’s first showing in a gallery called ‘Vanilla Canvas’ in Cape Town, all her work was sold in the first two days of the showing. Amanda’s paintings have a wonderfully soft pastel look. Her style is French Classic, and all her paintings are original. Apart from her present style, Amanda is also known for her paintings of white roses. She has a wide appeal to private collectors, and to galleries around the Cape, and at times finds it difficult to satisfy all the demand.
In the 1970’s Amanda’s mother lived in Rabie Street in Aberdeen.
