About Me

Hello! My name is Amanda and I'm a 2D artist who has been creating art for more than 30 years. I currently reside and make awesome art in south Louisiana, and my biggest support team is my husband, our two cats, Beethoven and Elise, and some very wonderful family members and friends.When it comes to life in general, these days I mainly focus on taking care of my family, home, and health first, because without that I wouldn't be able to function as well as I could be doing otherwise, but when it comes to art I do enjoy being able to make art for others, when possible, whether it be for voice actors, for fun, charity projects, friends and more.My specific interests in art are character concept design, especially creature designing, and I love building character illustrations, placing a focus on the use of color and lighting that are used in illustrations, as well as the importance of the movement that the character's bodies have and their facial expressions.However, when I'm not creating art, I also enjoy playing video games and watching movies with my family, and when I get the chance, I love teaching medical professionals and others about Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and related disorders in hope that I may help bring more attention to and get better treatment for this underdiagnosed and often misdiagnosed genetic disorder.Although I'm unable to do many activities these days, or work in general public, due to disabilities with several disorders such Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, dysautonomia, mast cell activation and more, I'm persistent in all that I do because I'm a go getter type of person!Finally, I would like to include here that I'm very thankful to have family, friends, mutuals, and followers who support me in all areas of my life and the things I do as I do strive to do my best every day.Thank you!
