Primary Art Form: Visual Arts
Company/Individual Description: Serpent & Dove Art by Amanda Duke Brown

Amanda Duke Brown is a native of Huntsville, Alabama. She attended Auburn University where she graduated receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art. While at Auburn she explored many mediums including: ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. But she fell in love with paint and print. Today, she focuses most of her energy on her paintings which have evolved over the years into mixed media pieces that integrate paint, textiles, text, found objects, and organic materials.

Amanda is inspired by God's creation, the written word, and the human condition. Her intent as an artist is to create an intimate moment by binding nature and text into visual art. It's not unusual to find that her pieces have been buried in the earth, left outside to weather the elements, or primed with coffee and salt sometime during their journey into conception. It is this involved method that makes her works truly unique. Each piece of art has a story all its own; a past that is layered within itself – a history to share with the viewer.

Her work can be found in homes and offices from Alabama to California. Amanda is currently creating her "Serpent & Dove Art" out of her home studio and garage.
