Art and fiber - The CreativeMindClass Blog
About the fiber artist Amanda Adams
I'm a fiber-artist and illustrator based in Baltimore. I moved here in order to attend Maryland Institute College of Art. Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in which Nicole Mueller and I met and became friends before we began Beyond the Studio. Beyond the Studio podcast together. In the past nine years I've built up my own small business in the field of art called close Call Studio where I work all day long.
How would you describe your style?
My approach to art making, whether it's sewing, drawing or whatever is unselfconscious and meant to delight and inspire others. It's possible to be moody and clear and my work can be kinda introspective, yet there's always an element of humor and a sense of play.
What is the key to creating art?
It changes from season to year, however having an attitude that is "no pressure" in the studio is fundamental for me in the present. I've always put a great deal of pressure on myself that didn't show positively on my work or the rest of my life. Creating the space to relax and enjoy gardening are as essential to my process as sitting down to draw.
