A place in history, a moment in time, these are words that express the essence of the art of Amanda Danning in the exhibition, Digging Deeper – Art With Purpose, opening at Arts for Rural Texas in Fayetteville on October 15 from 4 p.m – 6 p.m. Danning is a painter and a forensic sculptor. As a painter she travels to various locations where she works plein air and captures the beauty, the light, and the pure character and meaning of the local. She speaks of the power and strength of the people and the land. She captures the light and beauty in simple landscapes while telling stories if the inhabitants of these locals.
