Amanda Jolley
Amanda Jolley utilizes the process of intuitive painting as a communicative device to express the patterns and metaphors emerging from her subconscious. Amanda’s mediums of choice include both encaustic painting and paper folding which she incorporates into this intuitive process. A staple in her work has become the use of embedded line-work as an expression of internal symbols and mimicry of the creases produced from paper folding. Amanda’s paintings are shown internationally both in solo and group exhibits. She also has a large-scale (12x6 sq ft) commissioned permanent installation at the University of Kansas Medical Hospital. She instructs and hosts workshops that draw an international audience from her studio in Kansas City MO US.

Classes with Amanda Jolley
Subliminal Symbology
Asemic writing as a focus.
Tapping into bodily wisdom. Intuitive and abstract. Excavating symbology.
My focus for the longer video will be on intuitive process, working in a series, and creating line-work of internal symbology with the tjanting tool. The biggest focus here will be utilizing the tjanting tool in various ways to embed and add raised layers.
For the shorter video, I’ll be focusing on creating papers for origami, collage, or to incorporate in paintings.
