Amanda Kates 'Bottle Feeder'

$0.00
NFS

"Bottle Feeder," Gouache and Colored Pencil on Paper, 10x14 inches, $350

Artist Statement

“I have only recently decided to call myself an artist again. “Artist” was my identity until I became a mother four years ago. Since becoming a mother, I, like many mothers, have felt a lack of identity in tandem with a lack of time and space. My recent work – the first artwork I’ve undertaken since 2016 – is born out of the tension between the unrelenting urgency of mothering two small children, and the impossible-to-relent-to urgency of retaining my identity.”

Artist Bio

Amanda Kates is an artist based in Washington DC. She makes her mixed media drawings and paintings in a tiny studio that she requisitioned from her two-year-old daughter. Amanda has exhibited her work throughout the United States, including several solo, and two-person exhibitions. She holds an MFA from SUNY Albany, and a BFA from Binghamton University.
