Artist of the Month: Amanda Lee

January 2025

Amanda B's subjects include all animals, but primarily birds with chickens being her favorite. Having 8 of them is wonderful inspiration, and seeing their little quirks helps her come up with fun stories about them. She alse plans on releasing a few children's books on her chooks in the future.

Her main mediums are watercolor and gouache, but she also likes to add pastel and colored pencil to the mix. She also works with embroidery from time to time.

Amanda's art will be on display in the front lobby of Centerville Public Library for the month of January with pieces available for purchase. A portion of sales benefit the library.
