Hi, I'm Amanda, a Louisville-based artist with a BFA in Painting from the Hite Art Institute and a minor in Philosophy from the University of Louisville. My journey led me to pursue a Master's in Art Therapy, which I earned in 2023. Currently, I work as an art therapist, primarily serving Louisville’s population of adults experiencing serious mental illness and often homelessness, while continuing my journey as an artist, stylist, self taught makeup artist, treasure hunter, maker, and reseller.
With a passion for sustainability, I often incorporate second-hand or found materials, infusing vibrant colors into my mixed-media pieces, both 2-D and fabric art installations. As a tetrachromat, I explore the nuances of color and texture, evoking a vibrantly chaotic energy of acceptance, compassion, and freedom. My art is a reflection of my belief in collective liberation, radical self-expression, and the immense power of creativity and community.
