DeSilver, Amanda

Amanda graduated from Syracuse University as a printmaking major in 1993. After years of travel, she struck camp in the Puget Sound area, impressed by the astounding beauty of the Northwest. The unique landscapes of the region inspired her to explore them through painting and collage as well as on foot. Her emotions during these adventures have informed her bold and sometimes unusual use of color. Amanda has exhibited in a number of alternative spaces throughout Western Washington for the past decade, participated in public art projects and volunteered her time in various arts organizations.

Mesquite Tree Chair

2013 Chair Affair

This chair is based on a thirteen piece series of mesquite tree portraits I have recently completed. While on a trip to Texas I became fascinated by the twisty intricate branches of the mesquite and was inspired to capture their uniqueness. I have paired the unusual shapes of the trees with vibrant colors to create a playful and visually interesting piece.

This unique tall chair has been wrapped in yarn to make a cozy and inviting seat. The chilly winter inspired me to create something warm and wooly out of my chair this year.
