Amanda Flowers is a painter known for her visually intense depictions with a precision to the interconnected details surrounding a motif.  After mastering oil pastels she shifted to oil paints with a deeper sense for creating a wider range of chroma for her audience to engage within her paintings. Her visuals range from depictions of dreams, passed down memories from her grandparents to her intimate life. She sets to shape an alternate reality working together with tones of black mythology and black utopia, providing emotional nuisances by incorporating undertones of oranges and blues. Flowers's artistry is inspired by painters that went deep into their minds, picked out a scene and laid such colors down. Her influence starts with the 1940’s Harlem Renaissance, admiring artists such as Romare Bearden and Emma Amos. Extending her range to Corky McCoy and Varnette P. Honeywood, a theme shaped around black excellence.
