Amanda Makepeace

I am a self-taught artist who tried a bit of art school and decided it wasn't the thing for me. I wanted to do my own thing! I have explored many subjects and techniques over the years but have now returned to my roots with Nature and wildlife as my subjects. I like to take things from nature that we ignore, take for granted or trod upon without a second glance as my subjects. This most often happens to be stones, rocks and pebbles. They come in more colors than just grey and brown - we need only look a little closer. Beauty can be found in the simplest things. **Amanda is a published artist and active member of EBSQ - Self Representing Artists. She is currently working on several projects; including Pen and Ink drawings of frogs and a new series of Earthscape paintings. In March 2008 Amanda returned to the USA and now lives in Athens, Georgia with her daughter and 2 cats.**
