Painting the Past
Unique paper portraits by Amanda Doherty
Welcome to my site! Each of these pieces started from a photo from a Flea Market, family album, or client. I love using photos from long ago, giving new life to what is now gone. I’ve also done a few animal portraits, and would love to make more. Materials revolve around different types of paper, paints, foam board and fabric to create a portrait encased in a lightweight frame, ready to hang. Click the links above in the menu to see what I do, my art history, and if you’re interested in having one of your photos turned into a portrait (with or without a frame), click on the “Contact Me” button to shoot me an email. You can also follow along on my Instagram page for updates on pieces I’m working on. Thanks for your interest, and I hope you enjoy!
