STATEMENT

Regardless of the medium, in all of my work I strive to be colorful, tactile, playful, accurate, thoughtful, representational and, first and foremost, specific to my clientele’s needs. I try not to subject my talent to one “style”, but to various styles to blend my ability to create with my passion for textures and color; thus allowing my work to constantly evolve and be flexible in different occasions and jobs.

BIO

Graduating with B.F.A. in 2011, Amanda focused on Printmaking and Multimedia Art during her collaborated studies at Maine College of Art and Johnson State College. In the past, Amanda has traveled through out Europe and the USA closely studying and experiencing art in many different cultures, which has affected her role as a contemporary Artist today. She has worked as a Gallery Associate & Gallery Manager representing over 300 Artisans from around the globe, extensively getting to know the ins and outs of working with the public to create custom one-of-a-kind pieces to fill their artistic voids… And now after some reinventing, travel and soul-searching, Amanda has returned to Vermont to create for the public.
