Carmine Magazine: How would you describe your style?
Amanda Pearson: I love faces, so faces are always a central part of anything I do. I think that it’s much easier to draw someone into art if your work shows an exceptional understanding of facial structure and expression. While I’m not quite there, I do like to really make sure my faces are beautiful and elegant. Bodies are feminine but often exaggerated, a lot of the time giving nods to [usually warped] underlying skeletal structure and other anatomical concepts.

CM: What things inspire and influence you and your artwork?
AP: Sexuality, beauty, and women; or the sexuality of beautiful women. I like drawing and exaggerating what I find beautiful: lines that flow, curves, colors, and angles. I like to study and accentuate shape and proportion, and am totally inspired by burlesque dancers, models, drag queens, porn stars, and anything that celebrates and glorifies femininity.
