Since being home during the pandemic I have been exploring into new activities such as gardening. This is one of my imaginative moments of someone holding some plants. I chose wood for this piece for its smooth surface that leaves a texture on its own. Oil pastel gives a smooth blend and does not dry fast, allowing me to have more time to create a piece.

Artist Bio: Amanda Flowers is an oil pastel painter, working from the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Flowers was studying to be an astrophysicist at Arizona State University when life rerouted her. She shifted back to California obtaining her AA in Entrepreneurship while taking qualifying art classes at Pasadena City College that helped her to be accepted into the art program at Cal State L.A.. Flowers still works within a scientific mind frame by understanding the ripple effect from creating thought provoking visuals. She applies quantum psychology in her work using cognitive redirection, where she paints visuals to help young Black kids gain comfortability in their own skin and to implicit an energy to help the older generation reshape themselves within their environment. Artist Statement: Amanda Flowers is a painter known for her visually intense depictions with a precision to the interconnected details surrounding the motif. After mastering oil pastels she shifted to oil paints with a deeper sense for creating a wider range of chroma for her audience to engage within her paintings. Her visuals range from depictions of dreams, passed down memories from her grandparents to her intimate life. She sets to shape an alternate reality working together with tones of black mythology and black utopia providing emotional nuisances by incorporating undertones of oranges and blues. Flowers's artistry is inspired by such painters that went deep into their minds, picked out a scene and laid such colors down. Her influence starts with the 1940’s Harlem Renaissance, admiring artists such as Romare Bearden and Emma Amos. Extending her range to Corky McCoy and Varnette P. Honeywood, a theme shaped around black excellence. After mastering oil pastels she shifted to oil paints with a deeper sense for creating a wider range of chroma for her audience to engage within her paintings.
