Check it out! Moorhead High School graduate Amanda Frost is using her creativity to paint watercolor art of people’s homes. 🏡 "Frost’s house art has been her most popular pursuit, yet it’s only one aspect of what she does. She also paints stylized portraits of people and pets, screenprints shirts with a definite Gen-Z vibe, designs logos and posters, sews one-of-a-kind garments like patchwork pants and does fine art — all by maintaining a careful schedule on her ever-present planner."
