"Still in the early stages of painting full time, I find myself looking at life with increasing wonder as I grow as an artist. I am surrounded by a world of beautiful moments; my desire is to express the simple details that make those moments exceptional.”
Amanda Carder was born in 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in nearby Austell before settling in Cartersville. She has always had a fascination with drawing. As a child, she could not sit still without pencil and paper in hand, sketching whatever she saw.
Very active in the art world throughout high school, Carder won several awards including a place in the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program in art. This resulted in her attending Valdosta State University for an intense six-week art education program.
