Amanda Hogan Carlisle
Earthly Delights
acrylic paintings on canvas
Amanda began painting at a young age under the guidance of her mother, Lynn Hogan. She is a graduate of Xavier University where she studied art, psychology and German language. Her Fine art focuses are painting and design. Amanda creates one-of-a-kind greeting cards and custom invitations using recycled paper, fabric, or found objects stitched together with thread.
Amanda said "This body of work has been a long time in the making. The original inspiration was to do a new take on Georgia O' Keefe's flower series with large scale vegetables. The idea was rekindled after reading Michael Pollan's book
The Botany of Desire . Always an admirer of the beauty and charm of vegetables, The Botany of Desire illuminated for me the idea of how plants have evolved to satisfy humankind's most basic yearnings."
Artist reception: Friday, Nov. 4th 6pm -9pm
