Birgit Amadori

Feel free to check my complete portfolio at http://www.amadori.org

I was born and raised in Germany and relocated to beautiful Redondo Beach in 2004. I work as an artist as well as commercial illustrator.

Since 2006, I specialize in embroidery as a medium for the artwork I create. The process is ever-evolving as I learn new things and methods to express ideas.

As a commercial illustrator I work digitally (Adobe Illustrator) and most of my original arts also involve elements I created digitally, too.
