A BFA graduate of The University of Missouri-Columbia,
Amanda Raithel resides in Falls City, Nebraska with her husband Ed and daughter
Miranda. She enjoys capturing the essence of the cattle business through her
artwork while juggling a full time job at a registered Angus operation.
"My artwork centers around the show cattle or
'western' cattle business," states Raithel. "Idraw images that merit an emotional response from cattle people who
'live the dream' of ever raising a champion or being lucky enough to
win a big show with a steer, heifer, or bull." Raithel and her husband and have focused their lives around the breeding cattle business. "We are totally consumed
with the time, effort, and heart that cattle producers put into their progeny,
herds, and lives. I think sometimes that the struggles and triumph cattle
people go through are the biggest gift that we could be given, and I am making
artwork to reflect the heart and emotion that is contained in the act of
raising, selling, and showing registered cattle."
