Amanda Luschin Von Ebengreuth

I grew up in warm, sunny Houston, Texas. My mother said I was singing and dancing before I could even walk. I began dancing when I was 3 and continued to do that through my time in University.
I married the most amazing man and our adventures took us to the beautiful country of Germany where we have resided for the last 13 years. I am a wife and mother to 4 young, beautiful, energetic, and expressive children. They definitely keep me very busy but I love being creative whenever I get the chance and strive to make as much time for it as possible.
I discovered I could draw a few years ago by accident. I just happened to sketch my daughter on a scratch piece of paper and it looked just like her. I was shocked but I was too tired and couldn’t concentrate enough to pursue it at the time. As the mother of 4 energetic children, living abroad due to my husband’s job and trying to cope with the challenges of life in a foreign country, I didn’t have the time or energy to pursue drawing. However, when life took a downward spiral at the end of 2019, I ended up at my parents’ house in January 2020 to get help with 13 long years of severe depression and anxiety that was crippling me.

Suddenly I had all the time in the world to tak...

I really started into art in 2020 at the suggestion of my therapist at the end of 13 long years of crippling depression and anxiety. I just tried drawing and it worked. It's now one of my happy places and is very meditative for me. I'm self taught and I currently work mostly with Caran d'Ache Luminance and Faber-Castell Polychromos coloured pencils, drawing florals and portraits. I love creating art and am excited to learn, expand my skills, and do more.
