Don't Contract. Expand.

17/11/2014

Grow. Expand. Don't contract. Don't settle.
Be Brave. Be Open.
Be Curious. Do Change.
Don't lag. Don't dawdle.

Step. Leap. Fly.
Forward.

Be Free.

Open.
To.
Being Uncomfortable.

Stretch.
Your Self.

~Amanda L. Gamble

Canvas sides were painted black because I prefer to have the colors stand out and be the focal point.

This week has been many moments of quiet gratitude.

Shedding light on a course that is still unknown yet much clearer today than a year ago.

Create a life with few regrets and stick to what you know best, even if you don't know why.

In time, all is revealed because you listened and stayed true.

My story will take time to be told. Be patient, it will unfold, naturally.

Wishing everyone a day rich with heartfelt goodness.

"I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright." ~Henry David Thoreau

Amanda L. Gamble is passionate about telling stories through bold, competing colors in her paintings, color photography and creating the opposite through her black and white images.

Born hearing impaired, she was placed into an aggressive speech and language program at 3 years old to learn skills she missed in order to catch up and function in the hearing world.

Because hearing was secondary, she learned to compensate through sight. Relying on listening to visual cues, subtleties are more noticeable to her in everyday life.

Seen in some of her photography, Amanda captures objects she perceives are ordinarily missed or overlooked. Certain moments are indicative of what has been left astray and perhaps forgotten about among its environment.

Wanting to know the true story hits curiosity right in the heart, evoking the imagination to run wild. What are your thoughts? What do you see? What stirs you? Contemplating the object's position is interesting and makes for good conversation.

Amanda's paintings are statement pieces. Some of them reflect coincidentally earth from afar. The organic methods she imposes creates a flow that will not happen twice. What results is purely chance because she is truly in the moment with brush in hand and paint on canvas.

Her linear works are more structured, however, they too are created with the same technique as the organic pieces.

In translating sight, feelings and sound to material form, Amanda ultimately brings you fresh, spontaneous, authentic, and ever-expanding art forms.

Don't Contract. Expand.

All. That. Matters.

Ready. Set. Go!

Stay the Course. Listen. Be True.
