Adriana Maria Pineda

Hola! Soy Adriana,

a first-generation American artist, author, and creative from Miami, Florida. Raised in a vibrant, multicultural environment shaped by my Venezuelan and Nicaraguan heritage, I’ve always been drawn to the richness of Latin culture and its expression through color and storytelling.

Now living in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and raising a family of my own, motherhood has become a significant part of my artistic journey. As a mom, I’ve found new layers of inspiration and purpose in my work, using art as both a form of self-expression and a way to connect with others navigating similar life experiences.

As the founder of Art by AMP, my work is influenced by this cultural background, bringing together bright, bold palettes and themes that reflect both my roots and the world around me. From paintings to live event artwork, I aim to create pieces that inspire connection and joy. My art has been showcased in local galleries and businesses, including through my partnership with Swoon, a local juice bar, where I design custom pieces and host live painting events.

In addition to visual art, my love for storytelling led me to self-publish two children’s books: Donde Va el Sol / Where the Sun Goes, a bilingual book inspired by my passion for language and culture, and The ABCs of Arkansas Birds, a nature-focused coloring and workbook that fosters creativity and curiosity in young minds. There are many more books and works to come as I continue exploring new ways to share stories through both art and writing.

With every piece of art and writing, I aim to celebrate beauty, inspire connection, and share stories that resonate across cultures. Whether you’re here to explore my artwork, discover my books, or collaborate on a custom project, I’m excited to share my creative world with you.

FAQs

  • Q: What services do you offer?
    A: I offer a wide range of creative services through Art by AMP and Fotos by AMP. This includes custom artwork, murals, live painting, children’s book illustration and publishing support, branding and design, and editorial-style photography. You can explore all options on my services page.

    Q: How do I book a service or request a quote?
    A: Simply fill out the contact form on my site or email me with details about your project. I’ll follow up with a custom quote and next steps. For photography sessions, you can also book directly through the online scheduling calendar.

    Q: Do you work with clients outside of your area?
    A: Yes! I ship artwork nationwide, offer virtual design and publishing services, and travel for murals and photography upon request. Travel fees may apply depending on location.

    Q: Do you require a deposit?
    A: Yes, most projects require a non-refundable deposit to secure your spot on my calendar. The remaining balance is due upon completion or as outlined in your contract.

    Q: What is your cancellation policy?
    A: Deposits are non-refundable, but I understand life happens! If you need to cancel or reschedule, please reach out as soon as possible so we can make adjustments.

    Q: Do you use contracts?
    A: Yes, all services are secured with a simple contract to protect both of us and make sure expectations are clear.

  • Q: Can I commission a custom piece?
    A: Absolutely! Custom pieces are some of my favorite projects. Share your vision, colors, or theme, and I’ll create something unique just for you.

    Q: Do you sell prints or only originals?
    A: I offer both! Originals are one-of-a-kind, while prints make my work more accessible for collectors. You’ll find available pieces in my shop, or you can reach out for special orders.

  • Q: What types of murals do you offer?
    A: I create both traditional murals (indoor/outdoor walls) and hand-painted window murals/signs. Window pieces are great for seasonal promotions or storefront art, while large-scale murals transform walls into statement pieces.

    Q: How much do murals cost?
    A: Pricing depends on size, surface, and detail. Window murals typically cost less than wall murals. I’ll provide a custom quote after learning more about your project, and I also have a mural pricing guide for reference.

    Q: Do you travel for murals?
    A: Yes! I’m available to travel for mural projects. Travel fees may apply depending on location.

    Q: What do I need to provide for a mural project?
    A: I bring my own paints and supplies. For larger murals, clients may need to provide access to ladders, scaffolding, or lifts. We’ll go over the details in advance so everything is prepared.

  • Q: What is live painting?
    A: Live painting is when I create an artwork in real time at your event. Guests get to watch the process unfold, adding a unique and memorable experience to weddings, parties, and corporate events.

    Q: How much does live painting cost?
    A: My live painting rate is $175 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The final artwork is yours to keep, and pricing may vary based on canvas size and travel.

    Q: Do you only paint in one style?
    A: My live paintings are impressionist and abstract with touches of realism, blending bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. That said, I adjust to the atmosphere of your event so the piece reflects the mood and setting.

    Q: What do you need from the event host?
    A: I’ll need a designated painting area with good lighting, a table, and access to water. For outdoor events, some shade or coverage is helpful. I handle all painting materials and setup.

    Q: How far in advance should I book?
    A: The earlier the better! Live painting dates fill quickly, especially during wedding and holiday seasons. I recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance.

  • Q: What types of photography sessions do you offer?
    A: I offer milestone, maternity, family, branding, and event photography with an editorial storytelling style. Packages range from quick mini sessions to full event coverage, and I also create custom sessions upon request.

    Q: How will my photos be delivered?
    A: Your photos are delivered through a private Google Photos gallery, where you can easily view, download, and share images with friends and family. From there, you can also order prints, albums, or other keepsakes.

    Q: How soon will I receive my photos?
    A: Turnaround time is usually 2–3 weeks, depending on the type of session. Larger events may take a little longer, but I’ll always keep you updated on the delivery timeline.

    Q: Do I own the copyright to my photos?
    A: I retain the copyright as the photographer, but your gallery includes personal usage rights — meaning you’re free to download, print, and share your images. If you need extended usage (for business or branding purposes), I offer licensing options.

    Q: Do you travel for photoshoots?
    A: Yes! I travel for portraits, branding sessions, and events. Travel fees may apply depending on your location.
