Early Life and Education

Scottsdale artist Amanda Barley attended Arizona State University on scholarship and has displayed her artwork at numerous exhibitions worldwide. Her pieces often recontextualize objects from childhood within contemporary themes or settings; her escapist subjects like candy bars, donuts and Care Bears bring back comforting memories of childhood.

Mike found in Nicole someone who fiercely loved her family and shared his enthusiasm for sports. She readily adjusted to his lucky yet at times ludicrous career of working nights and traveling extensively with three sons in tow.

Professional Career

Metallica, one of the world’s premier heavy metal bands, made headlines worldwide when Newsted unexpectedly left. He toured for 15 years across 55 countries with Metallica and won six Grammy awards along the way.

He was also formerly the bassist for alternative metal band Voivod; replacing David Ellefson in 1997.

His artistic style combines guitar iconography with more abstract geometric and biomorphic forms in an expressive raw style, producing paintings that are highly textural and filled with meaning. His works have been displayed at exhibitions in New York, Miami and Art Basel – currently he resides on Jupiter Island with his wife Nicole.

Achievement and Honors

Her paintings are whimsical in nature and depict objects such as candies, donuts and care bears that bring back childhood memories for her. Recently however, her new body of work combines those memories with adult themes and situations for added depth and meaning.

Newsted is not only a musician but is also a self-taught visual artist, having had multiple successful exhibitions as a member of Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta.
