Amanda Faubus is a contemporary painter and designer whose work is defined by a refined balance of elegance, restraint, and intention. Her hummingbird paintings have flown into the hands of collectors around the world, becoming a signature part of her work. Working across oils, acrylics, and watercolor, she creates timeless pieces that bring a sense of calm, light, and quiet sophistication to interior spaces.
Amanda’s work is characterized by airy compositions and a thoughtful use of negative space. Each piece is carefully composed to serve as a focal point while maintaining a sense of openness and ease—inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and become immersed in subtle detail and atmosphere. Her paintings often draw the eye inward, offering a sense of stillness and visual escape.
Originally from Texas and now based in Colorado, Amanda finds inspiration in both natural landscapes and the rhythm of everyday life. Her surroundings—open skies, shifting light, and organic forms—inform her aesthetic, while her background in interior design and architecture from Abilene Christian University shapes her strong sense of composition and spatial harmony.
Amanda has continued to refine her artistic voice through workshops and conventions with internationally recognized artists, an experience that has deepened both her technical skill and creative perspective while keeping her approach grounded and ever-evolving. Her work spans a wide range of subjects and styles, from detailed portraits and nature-inspired motifs—such as her signature hummingbirds—to expressive abstract compositions. This versatility reflects her inherently exploratory and free-spirited approach to creating.
In addition to her studio practice, Amanda is also in the process of developing future children’s book projects, both writing and illustrating, which she is genuinely looking forward to exploring further as a creative extension of her storytelling work. Alongside this, she enjoys teaching both children and adults, sharing the knowledge and passion she continues to cultivate herself.
Her work has been featured in American Art Collector, NOCO Style Magazine, and myNOCO Magazine, reflecting a growing recognition of her distinct style and artistic voice. She is especially known for her use of gold leaf within her paintings, where it adds depth, light, and a subtle sense of luxury—bringing a quiet luminosity that continues to evolve with each piece she creates.
At the heart of Amanda’s work is a deep commitment to family, faith, and meaningful connection. As a mother, she balances her creative career with her most important role at home, bringing authenticity and purpose into both. Her art reflects this same spirit—thoughtful, grounded, and created with care.
Through her work, Amanda Faubus aims to create pieces that become lasting, cherished elements for her collector’s—art that feels personal, peaceful, and enduring.
Her work can be viewed online at AmandaFaubus.com, and is also available in person at Western Stars Gallery in Lyons, Colorado, and Independence Gallery in Loveland, Colorado.
