Artist commentary: I like to transport my mind to a calming place, inspired by memories, and complex organic elements found in nature. Playing with colors and movement, creating new compositions -- my best work comes when there is freedom to create without any strict plan. With intuition and spontaneity taking over, the result is often a surprise. To me, everything flows, and there is always a sense of balance and harmony that can emerge out of disorder. I love the ambiguous and mysterious nature of abstraction. Through self-discovery and experimentation, I am allowing dynamic energy that manifests through the joy of creating. The result is loose interpretations of anything that exists between the mind and reality, therefore each painting is unique and sometimes inexplicable.

Digital print on metal; semigloss finish; signed in verso. Artist Commentary: Part of the Southern Seas Series, this image is a manipulation of my own original photograph. Harnessing the graphic power of colors, it explores not only what is seen, but what could be. Hardedge lines distill the composition into colorful stripes reminiscent of op-art paintings. Each image is a slightly different meditation on color. As part of my broader body of work, this series invites us as humans to evolve to higher states of being through visual meditation on color. This work, and this series, uses photography to study color, the camera to deconstruct the world and color to create visual meditations. Words that describe this piece: sea, dusk, sunset, ocean, photographic art, abstract, minimalist, pixel Artist Biography: ​Born in Nashville, TN in 1979, American artist Amanda Lomax...

Life Inside the Ice, Original Ink Work on Paper, 2018 Ink on paper Artist Commentary: This piece took on a life of its own once I got started. I moved the inks/colors around on a piece of Duralar drafting film with a heat gun and an air brush. At first I thought the soft blues and greens were going to seem very flat but then some shapes began to emerge. I decided at that point to get out my white Posca pen and start pulling some shapes off of the background. Many have told me the shapes look like roses and others have told me the shapes look like ice. I'll let you decide what you feel about this piece. I call it 'Life Inside the Ice' because it feels like an ice sheet as it melts in the spring. The ice moves along the river and it piles up in certain areas and bumps and crashes into other pieces of ice. It makes incredible sounds too. At first glance this is a calming piece, but ... is it really? Hmm.... About the artist: I have been an artist all my life, ever since I could hold a pencil. I have always loved to draw and paint. My styles have varied over the years from realism to abstract and everything in between. The mediums I most enjoy working with are: oil, colored pencil, charcoal, graphite, watercolor, pen & ink, alcohol ink, and acrylic. Currently I am experiencing a mammoth amount of creative freedom working on abstract art. In 2015, I donated one of my kidneys to a young woman who had only been born with one very diseased kidney. Since then she has been thriving and now going to college and living her life. What a blessing! I consider this a privilege and I'm so happy I was a match for her. I have lived all over the country (U.S.). I primarily grew up in Woodland Park, CO. Following living in Woodland, I lived in Durango, CO, Farmington, NM, Houston, TX, Philadelphia, PA, Atlanta, GA and currently live in Montrose, CO (hopefully for good). I thankfully found my way back to Colorado. We live near Colona, in the shadow of Buckhorn Mountain (west/central Colorado) and absolutely love this place! It is remote, uncluttered, quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The inspiration I feel in my heart here is something I’ll be forever grateful for. It makes my soul sing! I love to ski and am glad I live near some great places. Telluride, Crested Butte, Aspen, etc ... when money allows. On February 12, 2017 I was in a ski accident in Telluride. Someone hit me from behind and knocked me unconscious for a few minutes (yes, I was wearing a helmet) and broke my collar bone. The guy hit me and left me for dead. He still has yet to be found. It's considered a felony to hit and run, just like in a car. Consequently, I suffered a concussion that has changed my life forever. My creativity has changed. Something happened to my eyes and I have a hard time doing the tiny details I used to do. But something also clicked in terms of how I approach my art. The freedom of abstraction has helped me heal and cope. Not only from the accident but with so many areas of my life. I have learned what true forgiveness means (to give as well as receive). I have a new appreciation for how fragile our lives really are and just how quickly life can be taken from us. A lot of things can change in the blink of an eye! That moment created a complete paradigm shift in my life. Mostly for the better. I’m involved in an art mentoring program called Art Partners. I mentor a young boy (age 10). He created a piece that won first place in the student category of the Ouray Alpine Artist’s Holiday art show (nationwide) as well as 1st place in The Montrose Visual Arts Guild 2018 art show. I love the fact that I get to help shape this young man's creative future. He's my lil buddy. There is an old cabin (100+ yrs old) on the property where I live that I have turned into my art studio. It’s my retreat and sanctuary. While I'm in this cabin, creativity just bursts forth in a riot of paint and color! This, I believe, is my heavenly father working through me. I'm still not sure what the grand purpose is but I keep my mind and heart open. I'm expecting adventure because, really, there's no way to know what's next. Like I always say, "the point is not to live forever but to create something that does."

Roses, Original Ink Painting, 2018 Ink and pen on paper Artist Commentary: This original piece is alcohol ink on a clay panel board. The ink was moved around using an airbrush. The fine lines were created with a posca paint pen. This one looks somewhat like roses, but on a very abstract level. It has a warm flow to it that will invite someone to come look closer. This one has a special meaning to me because it started out as a very frustrating piece. I wiped my board clean about 3 times and started over. I stopped, took a deep breath and let the colors start melting together naturally. Then an image emerged ... roses. I then had a wonderful time turning this piece into what you see here. It's one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it as well. About the artist: I have been an artist all my life, ever since I could hold a pencil. I have always loved to draw and paint.
