Primitive Painting

Amanda has lived in Brown County for over 35 years. She is married to a "native" Brown Countian and has two adult children and a two granddaughters. The acreage that Amanda's home and studio sits on was land-granted to her husband's family in the 1800's. Amanda feels that this setting is very inspirational, not only personally and spiritually but for her art as well.

Amanda's painting style has been labeled "primitive," and she has become known as Brown County's resident primitive painter. Amanda paints scenes of Brown County and beyond, adding memory, imagination and humor to each painting.

New to the tour this year is a line of miniature doll house paintings.

Scattered around her property are roses, annuals, native grasses, perennial and wildflower gardens.
Also featured at Amanda's studio this year are Matisse-inspired nudes by A. Wallis:
