About Me


"Amanda Stiles, award winning native Floridian artist has been painting since the age of seven. Now twenty-six years old, she continues to produce highly charged pieces that elicit an emotional response. She was voted Best in the Bay by Creative Loafing in the Visual Arts category and received a "loafie" in 2007. She has exhibited at the Salvador Dali Museum, St Petersburg Fine Arts Museum, and the Florida Craftsman Gallery. Currently exhibiting in multiple galleries across the United States, most recently selected as a featured artist to join an international group of artists at the Four Horseman Gallery’s “Seven Deadly Sins Exhibit”, as well as The "Censorship" Exhibition in NYC's Brecht Forum. She has helped to produce exhibits for the Ritz Carlton, The Daggerwing Museum, The Museum of South Florida, The Nature Conservancy, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, The Homosassa Public Library, the Mayo Clinic, and countless more. Founder and creative director of the O-original ArtCasts Production Company, the largest collective in The Bay area, she is constantly expanding her repertoire, and breaking new boundaries, she is impossible to define or easily categorize." - © 2007 CLC Media .."Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans."
