Amanda Hood is an artist and Visiting Assistant Professor at East Tennessee State University, with an MFA in Integrated Visual Art from Iowa State University, and BFA from Pittsburg State University. Amanda’s paintings and prints have been exhibited nationally and internationally in venues such as the Gallery of the International Pavilion in Ulsan, Korea, and the Evansville Museum in Indiana. Raised in the Midwest, her work often references the regional landscape and draws heavily upon the traditions of Romanticism and the Sublime.
The economic collapse of 2008 left many individuals across age and class demographics grappling to make ends meet, and adapt to the changing world around them. Global economies saw the illusion of safety and security shattered, and symbols of childhood and community transformed. Using landscape and atmosphere as metaphor, my paintings investigate the idea of a personal and collective loss of innocence
