About Amanda Goforth
Artist and Animal Lover
Amanda Goforth is an award-winning pastel artist specializing in pet portraiture. She currently lives in Columbia, SC with her dog, Loki and 3 cats, Mocha, Java and Grimmy. She also owns a mostly retired Tennessee Walking Horse, Rocky. While maintaining a successful career in the graphic arts industry, she has continued to expand on her traditional art skills as well. She is an accomplished painter in oils, acrylics and alkyds, and equally capable with pencil and paper. Her favorite is pastel pencil on velour paper; this is her medium of choice for pet portraits. She welcomes all who would grace her drawing board, from the tiniest hamster to the mightiest steed.
