Amanda began her artistic trajectory at age five, winning illustration awards as early as elementary school. She put art on the shelf for decades and rediscovered it in 2016. Most recently studying life drawing, she has fueled a reverence for the challenge of rendering the human figure and face. She loves the clothing and interiors of past eras and is inspired by all things historical. A deep curiosity keeps her exploring the paths of the subconscious and esoteric, which are also conveyed in her work. Some of her favorite things include forests, reading, cats, and aesthetic coffee shops.
