Amanda Snyder remains one of Oregon’s most highly regarded and collected mid-century artists. She explored a wide range of subject matter and frequently experimented with new ideas in art-making throughout her long career. A distinguishing characteristic of Snyder's work is her use of scumbling, a technique of laying down and scraping away multiple layers of paint, building up a richly textured and complex paint surface fromwhat remains. Snyder's paintings of birds are often poignant and tender, and her groupings of birds can be dynamic and communicative of human concerns. Her work is held in many distinguished public and private collections, and the Portland Art Museum presented a retrospective exhibition of her work in 2012.
