Amanda Holt Robicheaux works primarily in acrylic paints, experimenting with a variety of gel mediums, creating layers of matte and glossy layers with minimal brushwork. Primarily using a palette knife, rubber palette wedges or her fingers to create more texture, occasionally drawing in with graphite, hoping to capture that ephemeral play of light on surfaces.

Robicheaux was born in Caracas, Venezuela and lived there until her early teens. Her family is from Louisiana, and she moved to Lafayette in 1991. She studied Fine Arts and Industrial Design at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

She has worked with local southern Louisiana artists Wayne Ditch 1998-99 doing restoration and renovation. She also worked with Robert Dafford in 2001-2003, assisting in historically themed river walk murals primarily following the Ohio River before it meets the Mississippi River, including Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Moving further south in 2009 from Lafayette to Franklin, Louisiana, again changed her everyday perspective. It inspired her to draw the back roads and waterways of southern Louisiana, and continue her studies of local marsh birds.
