Artist Bio:

Amanda Lamoureux Smith is an internationally published abstract and mixed media visual artist residing just outside of Boston, Massachusetts (USA). Amanda paints mostly with acrylics on canvas and she steps in the paint used to create the painting and signs the back of the canvas with her footprint. Amanda uses quotes as inspiration to begin each piece, and her technique is derived from a desire to build layers to showcase the emotive outlets that others may equally relate to in life through transformation and the beauty and chaos that is life.

Amanda's art has been showcased at various showcases throughout the state of MA, has an international online presence, as well is featured in the Engage Art scripture app. Amanda’s work is published in the international magazine Beyond Words in April 2020. Amanda has been interviewed on various live television shows as well as Boston Arts Podcast and was accepted as a “Distinguished Artist” in early 2020 in Engage Art's online gallery and is a semi-finalist for Engage Art's international 2019-2020 juried visual arts competition.
