Welcome! My name is Amanda Gough. I am a Charlottesville based artist and more importantly the dog mom to a Great Dane name Annie who has been solely responsible for my happiness for the last 10 years. Traditionally a figurative artist, I have spent most of my artistic career thus far focused on the human form. However, last year I was faced with the possibility that I would lose my best friend and I processed my emotions like most creatives do, through my craft. I began to memorialize Annie onto canvas and found immense joy through being able to create a tangible memory. Luckily, Annie is still with me today, but the drive for creating those memories never left. My goal is to be able to give others the same joy. 

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the incredible team at Woodworth animal hospital that cared for Annie. I couldn't have imagined cutting my time with her short because of overwhelming costs, so 20% off all proceeds are transferred to a fund to help those who can't afford life saving vet bills. 

Thank you for stopping by, 

Amanda & Annie
