Amy Ayanda Studios

I am an artist, musician, storyteller and mother based in Cape Town, South Africa. My practice moves across painting, printmaking and immersive creative experiences, guided by a deep curiosity for the natural world, the changing seasons, and the stories that connect us.

I create original artworks using acrylic, oil painting on canvas and hand-pulled oil monotypes on paper. Alongside my original works, I release thoughtfully curated seasonal print collections, making my work accessible to collectors both locally and internationally.

I collaborate on residential, hospitality and commercial projects, managing every stage of the process; from concept development and artwork creation through to framing and installation. Whether I'm creating a single original piece or a large scale collection, I approach each project with the same care, craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Throughout the year, I host intimate workshops from my Cape Town studio, creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with their creativity, and experience the joy of making by hand.

At the heart of everything I create is a desire to celebrate the beauty of our natural world, to nurture human connection, and to inspire a sense of imagination and freedom.
