Oil on Arches Watercolor Paper, Framed

15" x 19"

As a landscape oil painter, Amanda is interested in exploring themes of transition and contrast in nature, and capturing often overlooked moments in everyday scenes. For Amanda, painting is a form of meditation and, if she is lucky, an opportunity to witness that fleeting moment between the ordinary and extraordinary. Amanda’s recent work in charcoal and graphite has allowed her to better capture this feeling of nature’s unpredictability. 

Amanda grew up in the Hudson River village of Dobbs Ferry, NY. Amanda received a BFA in illustration from Syracuse University. After many years working as a graphic designer in Manhattan, Amanda decided to return to my passion – painting and drawing. Amanda has been exhibiting work in various east coast galleries since 2006. 

Amanda currently lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband and daughter.
