Mahnie Amato
Mahnie Amato is a stippling artist based in the South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. She is employed full time in the mental health field and creates pet portraits in her spare time. Mahnie used to primarily draw as a hobby, but decided to open to commission in mid-2020.
Mahnie's stippling technique is extremely unique and can create incredible pieces of art that are a beautiful addition to any home. Each piece that Mahnie creates can take up to 20 hours to draw, as it is made entirely out of tiny dots from a fine pen.
Mahnie pours her heart into her pet portraits, whether the artwork is to be a gift for a client’s friend or a memoriam piece for a passed beloved pet. Every pet portrait is special and Mahnie will take great love and care with your artwork.
