Amanda Duke Brown is a native of Huntsville Alabama. She attended Auburn University where she graduated, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree. While at Auburn she explored many mediums including: ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Today, she focuses most her energy into her paintings which have evolved over the years into mixed media pieces that integrate paint, textiles, found objects, and organic materials.
Amanda is inspired by God's creation, His written word, and the human condition. Part of her process as an artist is to bind together nature and the visual arts. It's not unusual to find that her pieces have been buried in the earth, left outside to weather the elements, or primed with coffees, salts, or teas sometime during their journey into conception. It is this intimate method that makes her works truly unique. Each piece of art has a story all its own; a past that is layered within itself – a history to share with the viewer.
Amanda notes, "I am very inspired by God's creation all around me, His written word, and the human condition. I'm constantly in awe of these things. Each piece of artwork is an offering of worship; my hope as an artist is that God will use the artwork to His glory."
