信息记录:
2014年，阿曼达·特纳(Amanda Turner)在佛罗里达州的一家健身房睡了一个月。这是她在六个月内第五次尝试戒酒。她濒临无家可归的边缘。在阿曼达完成课程的那天，她拿起画笔，花了整整24小时在卧室墙上创作了这幅壁画。她说:“这是我完成的第一件事，我真的很喜欢。”阿曼达开始为朋友们粉刷墙壁和家具。不久，店主们雇她为他们的商店画壁画。一年之内，阿曼达创办了自己的公司“丑陋插画”。阿曼达迷上了旅行。她在哥斯达黎加和危地马拉背包旅行，以画壁画换取住宿。 In Ajijic, Mexico, she painted a mural for a spa for free to get introduced to the community. The mural was a giant postcard with the phrase Hola Ajijic. The spa's owner threw a block party that drew around 100 people. Amanda plans to stay a while and launch a co-working space that sells local art: El Gato Feo Cafe. "Painting has opened the door to some really great opportunities, and I'm so grateful," she says.
