Amanda Rabey ( B.A. hons.) attended the Slade School of Fine Art where she won the Sir Andrew Taylor Prize, The Monington Prize for Drawing and the Boise Scholarship. The last of these enabled her to travel widely in Brazil. Her work is on permanent display as part of Cambridge University New Hall Collection of Twentieth Century Women's Art.
She now lives and works in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Amanda Rabey's work has always had a strong environmental strand running through it. The battle between the natural and synthetic world is her preoccupation.
Her current work is concerned with man's impact on the environment and the relationship between macrocosm and microcosm, natural and synthetic.
