| Artist's Biography |
|
| Guided By Angels Description: | Since being discovered in the fall of 1999, Amanda Dunbar has been causing a sensation in the American art world. A self-taught child prodigy of uncommon talent, she has been painting in three distinct styles - French Impressionism, American Expressionism, and Abstract - since the age of sixteen, just three years after she picked up her first paintbrush. Critics have compared this ability to a musical prodigy having mastered classical, jazz, and contemporary at the same time.
Perhaps the most amazing part of Amanda's story is the fact that she showed no special talent or inclination towards art until she happened upon an after-school art class when she was thirteen. Her first work was a master-piece, evoking comparisons to Cassatt and Renoir, and soon Amanda was painting feverishly around the clock. "Painting is how I breath," she often remarks.
Amanda does not paint from slides or live models, yet her sense of proportion and composition are exquisite. So where does this astounding insparation come from? According to Amanda, it comes from her angels, who plant powerful ideas in her head - images and faces that beg to be put on canvas. Her work is alternately romantic and haunting, peaceful and full of motion.
Amanda has quickly become a pro in the public eye. In her short career, she has already appeared on such shows as Oprah and CBS's This Morning, among many other appearances across the country and in her native Texas. Her paintings are currently being exhibited around the United States to great acclaim.
