Amanda Houston, oils & pastels
Growing up on three continents, Amanda has been inspired by much of the world. She now lives on 30 breath-taking acres in Cornelius, OR. capturing the beauty of the landscapes that surround her.
"I am always drawn to the moments when the light is most dramatic, often at the edges of our days, when cast shadows lure me in for a closer look and the contrast of colors or moods are most intense. I strive for rhythm and depth in my work, for edges that are lost and found and for textural surface qualities, regardless of my medium. I’m primarily a pastel painter that dabbles in oils but enjoy innovating with the medium, as I am doing with my pastel drawings on copper."
