Amanda Rhodenizer

Inspired by the traditions and limitations of landscape painting, Amanda Rhodenizer often focuses her work around contemporary real estate practices in Canada. When painting the figure, she frequently positions them against the uncertainty of the changing climate. Raised on the beautiful South Shore of Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia, she also explores her family’s connections to colonization, folk art, tourism, and boat building as ongoing themes in her work.

Rhodenizer received a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2006, and an MFA from the University of Waterloo in 2014. Her work has been exhibited nationally in group and solo exhibitions. In 2017 Rhodenizer participated in the Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence program in Scarborough, and in 2021 her solo exhibition “O’er the Western Hills" was presented by the University of Waterloo Art Gallery. Her first solo exhibition at The Blue Building Gallery, “Love Boat” opened in February 2023.
