About

Amanda Nolan is a painter based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her work explores how moments leave traces—shaping and reshaping over time. Using nostalgia as a lens, Amanda intuitively paints from memory, focusing on the interplay between stillness and transformation. Her ongoing series, Arrangements, draws on the iconography of flowers and features them as stand-ins for people, places, and memories. Through the delicate, layered textures of her paintings, Amanda evokes feelings of presence, absence, and the passage of time. Her process seeks reconciliation between permanence and impermanence, embracing both clarity and amiguity along the boundaries of recollection.
