Amanda Greene lives with her husband and dog in Danielsville, Ga., a town of roughly 600 people between Atlanta and Greenville, S.C. The moments that make up her personal work — inspired by quiet, often offbeat, yet distinctly Southern moments — are often a short drive away in her Volkswagen, co-piloted by her dog, riding shotgun. The oft-tricky problem of access is usually easily solved with a simple gesture toward her car’s license plate.
