Graphic designing has been my self-taught hobby for over four years. I started with only Microsoft Paint, but as of now I couldn't imagine using anything short of Adobe CS4. If I hadn't started graphic designing, I don't think I wouldn't have seriously persued any other form of art either. My works go from most recent to least.

I started web designing around the same time I started graphic designing, making simple layouts for a myriad of social networking sites. In June 2008 I bought my first domain www.ourworkofart.com. Initially, I used it as a graphics resource site, which lasted for about a year and a half. Now it's home to my personal portfolio, which you are viewing right now! My websites and layouts are shown from most recent to least.




I started taking art classes in the spring of 2008. Though I've worked with several different mediums, noting can compare to oil painting in my eyes. I enjoy creating art that is colorful and sometimes tend to make you think. I also like using collage.

Hello, I'm Amanda! I'm a 16 year old high school student constantly trying to balance homework and art and everything in between. I currently reside in Freehold, NJ with my mom, dad, brother, sister, and two entertaining Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Ziggy and Marley. Loving myself and life is the greatest lesson I've learned thus far. I'm independent and opinionated, and a little bit introverted. I tend to look at things in a different perspective than those around me. Though I am a skeptic, I find the supernatural super fascinating. In the future, I hope to make a living doing what I love – art, of course. I want to travel the world and maybe one day open up a resort for dogs.
