Drawing and Painting has been a constant in Amanda’s life’s since she was 8 years old. As with many traditionally trained artists her pursuits began with intensive drawing; however, when Amanda reached her teens she was put off by conventional art instruction. So for the most part she is a self-taught artist. It was only after achieving a commission for a book cover in 2005 did Amanda give art school another try. She received a Btec in Painting from Kensington & Chelsea College in 2006.
Her paintings have been sold across the UK and were recently viewed at the Oval House Theatre in London. In early 2008, Amanda returned to the USA with her family and cats!
This blog explores her personal creative process, including the up’s and down’s of being an artist. To see a complete catalog of Amanda’s art please visit her website – www.amandamakepeace.com
