Meet the Artist
Originally from Fountain Inn, Amanda Farley received her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Production Design with a concentration on Costume Design, and a minor in Painting.
Now located Charlotte, she has been selling her own original paintings. Her work focuses heavily on the emphasis of color and how it relates to emotions and ideas.
After her first solo exhibition, her first published book illustrations, and other freelance projects, she realized she enjoyed the business side of the art world just as much as the creativity.
In May of 2023, Farley created Colony Art Collective as a way to not only sell her own work, but to help promote other talented artists as well.
