Amanda McLenon
Fine Art
Amanda McLenon is a conservationist at heart who started her career teaching high school biology in MI, and completed her Masters in marine biology in SC in 2011. Unexpectedly, she began painting in 2009, in reverse on glass, and incorporating maps she had collected over the years. Amanda was quickly recognized for her accurate wildlife paintings and unique style, and in 2012 she received the prestigious Lowcountry Artist of the Year award. More recently, Amanda’s passions are reflected in her large scale oil paintings on canvas, her focus on birds in graceful preening positions, and her creative use of gold and silver leaf.
