Are you interested in learning more about digital photography? Wabash Valley College is offering a photography class this Fall beginning Aug. 20. The class will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Bauer Media Center, Room 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
The class will be taught by Amanda Linn, who owns Fords the Art of Photography.
“For 18 plus years, I have owned a professional portrait studio that focuses on portrait photography from commercials, families, seniors, food, schools, events and much more. I donate my time and skills to local organizations to teach and share my passion for the arts.”
Linn earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1999 from Indiana State University and her Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Arts in San Francisco in 2019. The latter accomplishment is one that Linn is justifiably pleased with.
“I’m proud of raising two wonderful children, successfully running a portrait studio, and 20 years after getting my BFA being brave enough to go back to school for my MFA.”
Over the years, Linn’s work has been recognized for its excellence. Her work earned her the Directors' Choice Award from the 2019 Spring Art Show in San Francisco. Her thesis work has been exhibited at the 2018 Spring Art Show in San Francisco and the Open-Door Gallery in Vincennes, Ind. She was also invited to be the guest speaker at the Vincennes University Humanities and Film lecture series "Art, Hope and Covid-19,” as a visual artist.
Linn commented that she is most looking forward to working with her students.
