ABOUT AMANDA
I am interested in our connection to the animal and natural word. I want to explore a truth about our relationship to it by creating work that conveys its essence.
I want to create a painting that I have never seen before; to achieve a sense that the image is emerging; almost creating itself.
I love the materials of art making. I use drawing, printmaking, acrylic, oils and encaustic materials, often in combination, to play and convey my visual statement. I feel satisfied when I have combined a modern abstract approach with traditional painting or drawing techniques.
Amanda has taught as an Adjunct Professor of Art at the University of Michigan, She now lives in Corvallis, Montana with her husband and two girls.
....“There is a sculpture-like essence to her paintings: a singularity and a completeness. It’s as if Wilner has painted the sides and the back of the piece although no one can see it.”--Michele Corriel
