Since embarking on her professional artistic journey in 2011, Mandie Manzano has established herself as a compelling visual artist. Her creative process beautifully merges the tactile nature of traditional painting and drawing with the digital versatility of her iPad, with a particular affinity for the rich textures of acrylics and the fluidity of inks.
Mandie's artistic vision has led to collaborations with prestigious entities such as DreamWorks Animation Fine Arts and Warner Brothers with Diamond Art Club, alongside numerous successful licensing partnerships. Her artwork has graced magazine covers, brought book covers to life for various authors, and been celebrated in galleries worldwide.
Inspired by stained glass, Mandie imbues her exquisite creations with a unique and captivating light. Her artistic philosophy centers on the profound impact of art – its ability to ignite joy and hope, reveal hidden truths, impart powerful lessons, inspire, and even heal the spirit. Driven by this belief, she strives to create heartfelt art that serves as a blessing to others.
Nestled in Louisiana with her family, Mandie draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of sources: the captivating magic of ancient tales, enduring stories that elicit smiles, the mysterious beauty of the surrounding bayous, and the unwavering foundation of her faith.
“My goal is to minister through art, get you to smile, and to share God's light. I hope to spread love and life with the work I create and to encourage people who need a reminder of how loved they are by their heavenly Father…and of course to always see HIS light in the darkest of times. If you are reading this, I’d love to take this time to let you know that YOU are a masterpiece created by the ultimate artist. You are an original. There is only one of you. You are highly valued and priceless. Signed, sealed, and delivered by His precious love. †
