Artist Biography
My name is Amanda Frederick. I am a free-lance artist and web designer. I graduated from the University of Findlay, where I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree. My degree is in Studio Art.
As an artist, I enjoy painting and photography. Although I have developed skills in a lot of the other genres of art, I feel that I am most skilled in these two areas. I also have expertise in web design and have developed several different web sites. My best work is published here on this site.
I have always been artistic, however my college professors Doug Salveson and Jeff Salisbury helped encourage and develop my skills so that I was more confident in myself and willing to take chances with different techniques and subject matters.
My Favorite Artists
I really love the sculptures and Sisteen Chapel paintings by Michaelangelo. David and The Piata are my favorite sculputres. The Creation of Adam is my favorite of the Sisteen Chapel paintings.
I also love the work of Da Vinci, Georgia O'Keefe, Dali, and a modern-day historical painter, Robert Griffing.
