Amanda Beckmann | A Singular Life

Amanda Beckmann’s beautifully rendered artworks are like spending a long, lazy afternoon in the best vintage store imaginable, leafing through dog-eared books and magazines, stroking old silk Rooster® ties and the Bakelite cabinets of vintage radios, picking up gold-leafed barware and imagining the cocktails they held. Each mixed-media collage is a visual kaleidoscope of color, texture, depth and form. Intricately composed, they transport viewers into the sub-conscious “wonderland” of this modern-day hunter and gatherer. According to the artist, “Collage is a life-long labor of love for me. I love cutting up glossy magazines and catalogs, hunting through thrift stores for vintage dictionaries and science manuals, and honing my collection of found papers including parking stubs, grocery lists and old postcards.”

Amanda Beckmann (b. 1965) was born in Bayshore, Long Island, NY. A self-taught artist, she has been creating fantastical works of art for as long as she can remember. Beckmann’s work has been included in many group and solo shows in Los Angeles and New York and is held in public and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Asia.
