About Me

Petra Downs and her husband are two artists. He from Oceania, she from Europe with an international flair from having spent a lot of time growing up in the Mediterranean.

Manawahart provides services for various businesses and art disciplines on a per project basis. Such as sculpting, restoration, design, and photography

Petra originally came from academia, and spent her career being an educator. In a later stage in her life she discovered her love for graphical art (through the art academy Arendonk in Belgium.) In her work you’ll find influences from all the world’s continents. The societal and political developments of today’s day and age. And themes spanning from the human spirit to that which makes us move forward. This is her  signature work, and it is exceedingly unique and ever colorful.

“No embellishments, no sparkles, no glamour. Pure, down-to-earth, and authentic,” an apt description of Petra Downs. And her work reflects this: Driven, and with a story worth telling. Her work connects with the soul, with the heart, and brings energy and motion.

“Through my art I seek to move you. To make your heart flutter, and make you say WOW!

To connect you to the work. To never bore you with it. And to make you return to it again and again.

Let yourself become a piece of the art.”

-Petra Downs
