Amanda Besl Art
American, b. 1976
Amanda Besl has shown widely in both Western New York and New York City, and in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Russia. Besl holds an MFA in Painting from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI and a BFA from SUNY Oswego. Her paintings are part of several notable private and public collections including the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo; Nichido Contemporary, Tokyo, Japan; the Burger Collection, Hong Kong and the Tullman Collection, Chicago. Besl works in the Arts Department at Nichols School in Buffalo as an Upper School Visual Arts teacher. She uses natural history as a platform to explore social issues and finds inspiration in the plants she obsessively tends, which also provide props for her current cyanotype inspired work. Besl is represented by Resource Art and her recent solo exhibition “Blue Mythologies” at The Raft of Sanity includes a foray into filmmaking.to
