Amanda Ladymon is a mixed media artist, exhibiting around the southeast, as well as internationally. The work you are seeing here is part of her upcoming solo exhibition, "Kindred Harvest" at Frame of Mind on Main Street in downtown Columbia. The exhibition is part of the First Thursdays on Main, an exciting monthly event full of art, music, libations, and the wonderful arts community of Columbia! Closing Reception: January 5th from 6-9 pm.


Originally from Dallas, TX, Amanda received her MFA in studio arts from USC in 2009. She has received two studio assistantships to Penland’s summer workshops and one at Arrowmont School of Crafts. The local environment and ecosystems of the southeast are fascinating and surprising to a city girl, which fuels most of the research into biological forms. The work’s aesthetic formula is derived mostly from biomorphic abstraction. Amanda's artwork primarily is in drawing/painting, sculpture, and installation.

Amanda is currently an Adjunct Professor at Augusta State University and the University of South Carolina. She continues to stay involved in the local Columbia Arts community in many different facets, mainly as the Exhibition & Event Coordinator for S & S Art Supply. She also teaches adults and children's art workshops.
