Amanda Bielby Bielby

I am a creator. I am like water and air. Art allows me to work around my physical and mental disabilities, gives me the strength to continually adapt and move around life's obstacles, and to be flexible as a mother, supporter, caretaker to my family. It makes me useful and gives me purpose.
I believe the laboring craftsmen in the building trades develop their own fine art over time. My inspiration grows from life's moments and my landscaped environment. I take all of the techniques I have learned over the years as a tradesman doing building labor, house painting, faux painting, decorative painting, historic preservation painting, I twist them around to make impressionistic images to enjoy. My interdisciplinary artistic background has motivated me to incorporate leftover building material that, on the norm, would be thrown away. Stay Green
