Best Wishes


The alphabet is beautiful - the art of communication with symbols. When I think of modern day type I am influenced by Marian Bantjes. Her work makes me look at letters in a whole new light. I am not set on these colors but I do like that they are funky and something I usually don't do.

Love,
Amanda

Circle Flowers

Working on a NEW website - notice the new type for Amanda Woodward? I took out the crossbar on the A's. The image next to the logo is one of the pattern series that I am starting which I will be silkscreening.

Love,
Amanda

Old Sketches







These were from freshman year in college. I threw most of my stuff away because I was going into graphic design and I thought this wasn't something I needed to know or have with me. Now I wish I did.

Love,
A

Oil Painting





When I was 13 my grandma (who was an amazing painter) showed me how to use oil paints one day. I painted a landscape from North Carolina. After that day, like most 13 year olds I lost interests quickly. In College, I took a painting class but that was with acrylics. Now 10 years later I am painting with oils again and I really enjoy it. I am still waiting for the paint to dry a little more so I can finish them. But it's coming along...


Love,
Amanda
