Portfolio of Works

I’m a visual development–focused illustrator and artist with a BFA from the Academy of Art University. I create atmospheric, story-driven imagery for games, comics, and narrative worlds, with an emphasis on mood, character, and visual storytelling.

Artist's Website

Amanda Martinez is a Pacific Northwest artist whose work reflects an eclectic style shaped by her travels across the United States. Encouraged early by her high school art teacher, she went on to study at Milan Art Institute, turning her passion into a full-time career. Her mixed media paintings are rich in layers, inviting viewers to slow down and discover deeper emotional meaning. Spontaneous yet refined, Amanda describes her work as an “insight to the soul,” often leaving collectors surprised by the depth and presence of each piece.

Julie Schmidt invites you into a world shaped by light and color. Inspired by childhood memories of stained glass casting dancing rainbows across her walls, her work captures that same sense of quiet magic. As you experience her pieces, you’ll notice how the mood shifts with changing light—each moment revealing something new. Through her art, Julie blends color and light to create beauty that feels both luminous and alive.

Art doesn’t always need a traditional gallery. Sometimes the best place to discover it is where people already gather.
Little Mountain Gallery at Fubar Drinks brings local art into the heart of Mountain Home, creating a small but vibrant space where visitors can encounter original paintings, prints, and handmade artwork by artists from our community.
Organized by the Visual Arts Network, the gallery hosts rotating exhibitions throughout the year, helping local artists share their work while making art a natural part of everyday life.
Whether you come for a coffee, a drink, or a conversation, you might leave having discovered a new favorite artist.
