Amanda Visell has been working in the animation industry for the past
6 years as a character designer, visual development artist, production
designer, sculptor and fabricator. Some of her most recent work
includes The Simpsons and the feature ELF.
Her paintings have been featured in group shows at La Luz de Jesus in
Los Angeles, Mendenhall Sobieski in Pasadena, the Shooting Gallery in
San Francisco, and most recently a solo show at Lunar Boy Gallery
in Astoria.
Her main influences are Mary Blair and 60's era Disney. She describes
her style as lighthearted and sarcastic, and feels her paintings are
just childlike enough to appeal to adults.
She is 1/2 of a company called The Girls that creates original
properties for animation as well as unique products. Currently they are
developing a short with James Baxter Animation.
Amanda was featured in a solo show here in March 2006. To see works from the show check out:
