About the Artist
Hi! Welcome to Follow Your Art Studio LLC! Amanda Gipson earned her Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art from Arkansas State University in 2005. She has had the pleasure of teaching art for just over 10 years. She is a wife and home school mom of two wonderful kids.
Amanda is a studio artist that loves to get her hands dirty! She loves to mix medias, which means she uses a variety of art mediums in one piece of artwork. She is skilled in watercolor, acrylic and oil paint as well as sculpture and printmaking and has been mixing styles for over 20 years. She loves to experiment with new ideas with a style that brings together the whimsical nature of the world around us that she captures through surrealism and the impeccable detail achieved through realism. Achieving a beautiful balance of realism with the expressive style of surrealism is one of her favorite things to do when creating. She finds inspiration in bringing out the unseen.
She is eager to encourage the inner artist to grow within anyone who steps foot in her studio. Children, who have so much to express through their budding imaginations, find a welcoming environment to stimulate their creativity. Teens and pre-teens who are learning how to express their unique point of views can find inspiration and encouragement to develop their individuality. Adults leave her classes feeling amazed at what they discovered within their own creative process. Amanda has been teaching students of all ages for over 10 years. She provides artists with an inspirational environment and instruction to create beautiful works of art. Through her love for for art history she seamlessly blends creation with information. She believes that everyone has an inner artist and makes it her mission in life to help show everyone how to let go and Follow Your Art.
