So, here’s the scoop: Amanda Oleander is an artist who’s been sketching all the feels of life and love. But then she became a mom, and bam! Her art got a whole new vibe - less romance, more real life with tiny humans and big feelings.
“Before, I was all about love and those quiet moments, but then motherhood showed up with chaos, joy, and exhaustion all rolled into one. So now, my art is like a rollercoaster of sweet messiness,” Amanda told us.
Let’s be real, Instagram is full of polished mom pics, but Amanda’s drawings say, "Hold up, this stuff is messy and funny and crazy.” She’s all about showing the behind-the-scenes of parenting - the laughs, the tears, the spilled milk, and the pure bliss.
“I want people to see the real deal, not just the highlight reel. It’s messy but beautiful, and lots of parents tell me, ‘Yep, that’s me!’”
One funny thing Amanda noticed about being a mom? Time gets weird. Suddenly, laughing over a spilled drink or watching a kid discover something silly feels like a big deal. And yep, that makes for some awesome art moments.
“Those tiny, messy moments? Pure gold. I want to catch that magic in my sketches,” she explained.
In the end, Amanda’s illustrations remind us motherhood isn’t just about big milestones. It’s about the everyday chaos, the little snuggles, and the wild ride that leaves you wondering how you survived - but also totally grateful.
