Mother, Artist, Writer, Free Spirit
Some of Amanda's earliest memories are watching her mother recreate her favorite toys with pencil and paper. Those experiences inspired her to begin her own creative pursuits. When put off by conventional art instruction, Amanda set out to create art on her own terms.
Like her interests in life, her art is not bound to one subject or style. Amanda has explored the beauty at her feet and the expanse of the universe. Her art has adorned a book cover and can be found in homes across the U.S. and U.K.
In 2009, Amanda rekindled her desire to write fiction after several years away from the craft. Check her blog for updates on her progress!
Amanda lives just outside Athens, Georgia with her daughter and 2 cats.
