Amanda Johnson is a captivating and sensual artist who is masterful in communicating emotion, divine intervention and life blood in her work through the enchanted use of color and light regardless of the subject matter depicted.
Amanda's creative aptitude flourished from early childhood. She has developed her innate talent into a refined understanding of composition. With her repertoire of work ranging from portraiture to costume design, her formal education focused primarily on painting, yet her love of fashion and self expression led her to a career in film and television production where she was a successful costume designer and makeup artist.
Amanda Johnson is a native of Baltimore where she attended Baltimore High School for the Arts graduating with honors and a continuing education scholarship. She earned her BFA and Fine Arts diploma from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston and the Tufts School. Soon thereafter she majored in Portrait Painting, continuing her education in Museum Studies at the Harvard Extension School. Miss Johnson then traveled to Greece and studied the history of art, further broadening her formal academic foundation.
Amanda currently garners inspiration from the majesty of the ocean and the lovely and quirky nature of Delray Beach, Florida which she now calls home. It is here that she continues her work at her studio in Artists Alley, Delray Beach. Amanda's recent projects include fine art lamps that have been featured in The Baltimore Museum of Art. She also creates a line of luxury fabrics that is quickly gaining the attention of Interior Designers and the garment industry. She is a 2014 award recipient of ASID, Maryland for one of her textile collections. Amanda Johnson's textile collection was created using her original paintings. Taking cue from art history and historical embellishments, each fabric begins as a painting that is worked with gold and silver leaf. Each fabric was derived from one of her paintings.
Artist statement: "My subject matter often portrays women: powerful demigods, real life dolls, femme fatales, and mythological figures. Influenced by the Greek Mythology and my own self-reflection, my artworks aim is to transcend time. My art works portray moments of divine intervention, decision making, and the process of my own personal life.
