MY STORY
THE ARTIST
Hi, I'm Amanda - a Canadian artist based in Southern Alberta. Art has always been something I've enjoyed. I have many memories of creating as a kid and remember looking forward to art class all throughout grade school. In recent years, that love has only continued to flourish.
​
With the help of my family and friends, I've realized I have a talent for creating and the passion to match. I find so much peace and joy in sitting down, zoning out and making colours and shapes come together to make a work of art. God, the Artist of the universe, gave me the gift to create, and I am humbled and so grateful to be able to call myself an artist.
THE ART
I have always been in awe of nature - the unexpected colour combinations, unique textures, and intricate designs. God's glory is so beautifully displayed all around us!
Naturally, I am often drawn to nature as my subject of choice. I also enjoy creating portrait pieces or playing around with colours and words. Sometimes I share my own words, while other times I prefer adding quotes or scripture passages that speak to me.
​
Most of the art I create is digital but intended to look like oil paintings with varied textures. I love using simplified strokes to allow the admirer to use their imagination and perceive my art in their own unique way. By avoiding blunt and defined lines, I allow more life and movement to shine through the piece. Carefully choosing the colours, textures, and lines allows me to portray the mood or emotion I desire.
