ARTIST BIO
Mandy Goss
Mandy Goss’s affinity for bright, bold colors started when she first saw graffiti art and community murals. Her first experience blending colorful oil pastels on craft paper in large-scale pieces is where she found her passion for art. Her work delicately balances, multi-colored art with digital and hand-drawn illustrations. She was bringing to life her fondness for nature surrealism and expressionism. Her illustrations and art flow seamlessly together as she shares her love of all things color in every piece she illustrates, designs, or paints.
Goss received her Associate's degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, PA, and a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Atlanta, GA. She's worked with marketing and advertising agencies in cities all across the country. She traveled from Atlanta, GA; to Boston, MA; to San Diego, CA; to Fort Collins, CO; to Tempe, AZ and now resides in Michigan with her two boys. She began to merge her illustrative handmade art and digital designs in her work and now utilizes her crafty skills as a Graphic Designer for Poor Boy Woodworks. She has sold original fine art, giclée prints, and mixed media digital art independently since 2017. She enjoys nature, music, cooking, and hanging out with her
two adventurous boys and family.
