Amanda McLenon Fine Art

Amanda McLenon is a marine biologist turned fine artist located in Asheville, NC.

I create paintings of wildlife, and strive to highlight the beauty
 found in the daily rituals and moments that might otherwise seem
 mundane. I started my career as a high school science teacher, and completed my
 second master's in marine biology at the College of Charleston. A
 chance experiment with paint led me to art, and I have found it to
 be a much more effective way to convey my emotional connection
 to the natural world.
