The fiber and felt art of The CreativeMindClass Blog
Information about the fiber artist Amanda Adams
I'm a fiber-artist and illustrator who is based in Baltimore. I moved here for school at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in which Nicole Mueller and I met and began to become friends. It was before that we launched Beyond the Studio. Beyond the Studio podcast together. In the past nine years I've worked hard to build my own small business in the field of art called Call Studio Close Call Studio which I run all day long.
What is your personal style?
My approach to art making, whether drawing, sewing or whatever is unselfconscious and meant to delight and inspire others. I can be moody and explicit and some of my art can appear introspective, yet there's always an element of comedy and playfulness involved.
What is the key to creating art?
The process varies from season to season but currently holding an attitude that is "no stress" when working in my studio is absolutely key to me at the moment. I've put on a lot amount of stress on myself that didn't show positively on my work or life so creating space for rest and gardening are as essential to my process as sitting down to draw.
