Amanda Makepeace

I am a self-taught artist who tried a bit of art school and decided it wasn't the thing for me. As a child I spent hours, sometimes an entire day, outside, roaming the nearby woods, streams and rivers. I brought home from these journeys little bits of nature. Pebbles, stones, leaves, turtle shells, bird’s nests and even the occasional live frog or salamander. Nature was my first art teacher and remains the most influential to this day. As an adult, I’m still roaming the woods and bringing home bits of this and that in my pocket. I still sketch, but more often I paint in Acrylics and Watercolors.
