My paintings converge between science, memory and healing, and my collaborations have included:
INSIDE THE CELL
This particular collaboration between myself and Professor Hani Gabra who is the Director of The Ovarian Cancer Research Centre based at Imperial College in London represents the emotional level and dimension to a scientific presentation about the state of play in ovarian cancer research, to highlight that nurturing of our health begins at a cellular level.

INSIDE THE SPA
This collaboration took place in the South of France at a medieval nunnery that has been converted into a luxury hotel and spa called Le Couvent d’Herepian. I designed and created a painting for the spa area which represented the experience of self-discovery when people encountered themselves during a treatment.
Inside Le Couvent
Other smaller paintings were left in unusual places like staircases, where guests could pause and think as they were inside this luxurious space, safe in the knowledge of being protected from the outer layers of life.

NSPCC – National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
This collaboration highlighted the many levels of convergence that take place in the drive to protect children from cruelty. The first convergence being the act of creation.

This discovery work to tell your story is best done through one of the healing arts such as painting and/or writing.
I undertake collaborations on a commission only basis. Please contact amanda@amandaseyderhelm.com to arrange a conversation.
