View artist Amanda Hulbert’s abstract paintings through March
Artwork by Amanda Hulbert is currently featured at the Ellicottville Memorial Library through March 2025.
Says Amanda of her current exhibit, “Abstract paint pouring, with its planned spontaneity, mirrors life's unpredictable dance, where carefully orchestrated moments flow seamlessly into the unexpected to create a beautiful tapestry. I express myself using acrylic paint and additives applied directly to the canvas to provide an escape from the busyness of life. Each piece is meant to be interpreted by the viewer, to find the feeling they need in the shapes that playfully emerge and flow from one another.”
Amanda’s paintings are abstract and unusual; colors and shapes mingle and flow. She loves to experiment, and uses several different techniques and tools when painting. Each piece is a unique creation of color and pattern.
Amanda always enjoyed making art from the time she was a child. Life had her take a break for a while, but she has been able to return to art even while working a demanding job in higher education. She discovered pour paintings, and has been creating them for several years. Her decision to focus on abstract art freed her from the pressure of perfectionism, and allowed her to just enjoy the colors and spontaneity of this art form.
