My name is Amanda, I am a Colorado artist specializing in craft mixed media with an emphasis on calligraphy and painting. Originally from Granby in Grand County, Colorado, I have combined my familiarity with the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains with my passion for painting to develop the “beyond the maples” leaf painting series – a unique approach to mixed media custom artwork and design. I enjoy putting loving care and attention into each art piece.

I was inspired to create art at a young age when my Grandma introduced me to tole decorative painting, a style of artwork I continue today. I am married to my husband Tommy, who motivated me to take my unique artwork public, and together we have two beautiful children. I enjoy getting outdoors with my family to go leaf hunting for the leaf artwork series.

I later found a love for calligraphy in 2019 and continue my journey learning different scripts, developing my take on hand scripted mandala drawings.
