Amanda Katz Art After running my own practice, Amanda Katz Architects for 40 years, I returned to my love of creating art.

My favourite subject Lions Head mountain in Cape Town is inspired by Hokusai. I am creating my own obsessiv views of this much loved iconic landmark

Oy. Why do I look weird and angry in my self portraits? I imagine I have a friendly smiling face but not in these. Love the technique in pencil and charcoal on newsprint but please don’t let me meet that face on a dark night. An exercise in proportion but I think the philtrum section is too long. Look that up!!

Latest artworks completed today. Another perspex artwork with acrylic painting on the reverse (number 3 in the series of 6 planned) and another bisque fired tile painting. (2 so far). I'm still deciding whether to glaze the tiled artworks or leave them matt. Both depicting my muse Lions head mountain in Cape Town. Working on these series towards Paul Birchall's student exhibition at the end of November..watch this space.

Finished today. I added back the base drawing grid using bleach lines made with my ink dip pen and put in the grid numbers for fun. Also did some touch up details on the still life objects.

Work in progress. Will add the grid structure back into the artwork, and maybe add some collage work. Enjoyed the adding of the fabric behind the objects.
