Amanda Surveski is a Connecticut based artist who grew up with an infatuation for art and nature. She left Connecticut to pursue a degree in illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, and studied abroad in Southern France. Her time spent in the remote village of Lacoste, ignited her interest in creating art centered around nature. After graduation she returned to the Northeast and began volunteering in wildlife rehab where she fostered a close, personal connection to native New England wildlife. Since then, Amanda has aimed to create images that connect back to local ecological issues, provoking those who see her work to engage more with the natural world, and hopefully in turn, protect it. Amanda works in a variety of media including graphite, watercolor, colored pencil and acrylic. She enjoys experimenting with digital media and trying new combinations of mixed media to create realistic textures and colors. Amanda has shown her work in galleries across the United States and worldwide and won numerous awards. In 2022, Amanda started working as a naturalist for the Holland America Line cruises in Alaska. She has traveled extensively through SE Alaska educating passengers on local wildlife, hosting wildlife spottings and offering presentations and programing about Alaskan wildlife to guests. When not drawing or painting in her studio, Amanda works full-time as a freelance artist and graphic designer. You can often find her around Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts displaying her work at shows and fairs. She teaches workshops on nature journaling, drawing classes for the West Hartford Art League and works one-on-one with aspiring artists. She is currently available for projects and collaborations, as well as custom work including pet portraits. Amanda is a member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, Lyme Arts Association, Washington Art Association, Makers with Moxie and The Nutmeg Collective. www.amandasurveski.com www.instagram.com/amandasurveski www.facebook.com/amandasurveskiart
