I am a foodie artist living on the highest of hills in beautiful San Francisco. I savor detail, drink color, devour scents, and love eating. I have a deep rooted love for horses, their gorgeous power and soulful eyes. I enjoy garlic noodles, cupcakes, fig smoothies and oh so much more. Food and horses aside – illustration is the backbone of my life. It is my ultimate escape into mindful concentration – I can disappear into lines and feel truly part of something even if it ends up just being a portrait of a cute dog.
Though I still illustrate for fun, I am currently the lead designer at Sneakpeeq, an e-commerce site with gamification and wonderful discovery capabilities. We promote and support smaller brands – come discover something new (Spirithoods is my new favorite sneakpeeq brand!)
Sweet Pencil is me, Amanda with a drawing utensil, ready for action. While I have a full-time job, I still have plenty of time for freelance illustration. I have a strong passion for small detail and line art. I love curves, flowing shapes and pastel colors. Sweetpencil is also my way of taking note of the things I love and my wonderful everyday life -food and art being the main themes! I plan to venture into a more adult world of cooking, leaving the college boxed foods behind and I’m striving to advance my art, step outside of my box, and perfect “my style”.
