Amanda Bennett

New Orleans, LA

Medium:

Mixed Media 2D

“Familiar, nostalgic objects and scenes inspire me,” notes Amanda Bennett. “I like everyday things, especially when their meaning and context has evolved, transforming their importance based on time and place. Using these images, my artwork takes a critical view of social, political, and cultural issues with a hint of humor.”

Amanda uses a combination of materials at her disposal such as acrylic, latex paint, molding paste, vintage newsprint and magazines, graphite, oil stick, and wood panels to create 2D mixed media pieces. She describes her work as outsider, pop, contemporary.

“I’ve been exploring more freedom in my strokes and imagery presented in my pieces,” Amanda says. These days, her creativity “comes and goes in waves. I find some moments to be overwhelmingly inspiring while others make me feel paralyzed.”
