Hello, my name is Amanda Oldenhuis. I am married and we have one daughter together. I started making art at the age of 18. At that time, I was mainly focused on drawing portraits. I made quite a few back then. Unfortunately, I stopped drawing for a while. It was only when I was 38 that I picked it up again. We have not had an easy life, which is also reflected in some of my works. I have dedicated myself to painting, using both acrylic and oil paint, as well as creating wood burning art. I am completely self-taught. Painting is an outlet. My work speaks for itself.
