About

London Amara is an American born visual artist recognized for her large scale industrial, gestural and metaphoric sculpture, paintings and drawings. Educated in Fine Arts at Columbus College of Art and Design, she uses a varied practice of installation, sculpture, painting and drawing to explore the complex relationship between art, life and death. Amara is an intensely driven artist, constantly experimenting with different mediums. She consistently intuits the use of handmade charcoals, graphite, water based paint, oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, enamels, oxidized metals, assemblage materials, and welded steel sculptures to visually excavate and capture brief moments of strength and fragility.

Amara has won numerous awards for her abstract oils, watercolors, and charcoal drawings. After moving to Naples, Florida in 1999, she began her career as an artist and taught courses based on her innovative use of textiles, polymer resins, metals and  oxidations. Additionally, she served as Curator for Padulo Art in Naples, Florida where she flew to 52 cities in one year, researching over 100 galleries. The culmination of that research formulated the curatorial practices that would last the next three years and generate record breaking sales.

Amara has shown in group and solo shows throughout Southwest Florida and Ohio. Her work has been featured in St.Pete Fashion Week, Chillounge, Cars and Couture, Tampa Bay Times, and the world renowned Dupont Registry Magazine. Her permanent works can be found in national collections including Fine Mark Bank, Allstate Insurance, Lew Griffin Insurance, MSABC, Tampa Bay Times Forum, Villa Nova and Rising Sky Studios.

London Amara lives primarily in the Tampa Bay Area, and works from two studios, Studio North located in Columbus, Ohio nestled in hundreds of acres of pristine woods and Studio South in Clearwater, Florida next to her favorite sunny spot, Honeymoon Island.
