I'm a self-taught, eclectic artist who tried a bit of art school and decided it wasn't to my liking. I wanted to do my own thing!

I've just returned to the US after living on the South Coast of England for 4 years, so I'm very busy at the moment trying to reconnect with the artist community here in Athens, Georgia.

I paint in acrylics for the most part, though I often stray to oils or watercolors. I like to take things from nature that we most often ignore, take for granted or trod upon without a second glance as my subjects. Beauty can be found in the simplest things.

Currently I'm working on several projects. My web gallery will take you through a journey from the microscopic to the expanse of the universe, and then back down to earth again.

I invite you to visit my website at www.amandamakepeace.com to view a complete catalog of my artworks.
