Artist Statement

• My first interaction with art was when my mom
  used to paint, and she would let me paint with
  watercolors. Ever since I was very young I liked
  to draw and my mom would never fail to encourage
  my curiosity when it came to art. Since then I
  have developed my own style and draw from many
  things for inspiration.
• When I begin a piece I usually have a goal in
  mind, not how it will look but the feeling youll
  get when you look at it. each painting has a
  story, a thought and a message. I have wanted for
  a long time to find a way to let people hear my
  voice. Ive found I can do that through art.
• My favorite mediums to work with are pencil,
  if Im feeling simple, oils, my favorite to paint
  with because they blend so well and collage. I
  like collage because it allows me to use symbols
  and suggestions to create an over all mood in a
  piece, not to mention its fun. Art used to be my
  pastime, then it was my hobby, now it not only
  fills the hours of the day I hope it will guide
  me through my life. Amanda Lynn Brenton

Indias Sunset

• This painting was inspired by a picture of a
  sunset in India. I added a little more depth to
  it from imagination.

Dashing Blue Mug

• This mug was made in Mr. Gilliams Sculpture and
  Ceramics class. I achieved the one of a kind blue
  color on the mug by mixing Mex. point green
  periwinkle blue. It was by far my favorite.

Little Mug

• This also was made in Sculpture and Ceramics
  class. I like this mug especially because it is
  simple and un-extraordinary. Its also very
  small, and kind of cute.

Faux Monet

• These mono-prints were freehanded and I thought
  they came out very well. They reminded me of some
  of Monets painting, thus the title Faux Monet

Me in the Morning

• For this project we used cellu-clay to create a
  3D face on a flat surface. The face I made
  reminds me of how I sometimes feel in the
  mornings.)

Mug Shot

• The elongated portraits were to be self-
  caricatures. My picture started as a very angry
  me, and it sort of looked like a mug shot. I used
  my artistic license to change the background and
  make it look like a real mug shot.

Art Department Mural

• This was my final project for Honors Art 3.
  Brittany Sattler and I worked on it for about
  three weeks using semi- gloss, flat and acrylics.

14
Guys and Dolls-Prop

• This was the first project we took on in Honors
  Art 3. The Theatre Department won an award for
  their stage design, of which the art department
  and all of our signs were apart of.
