About the Artist

Amanda is an artist, illustrator, and designer currently residing in Salem Massachusetts. She works in all traditional and digital mediums, but finds the most enjoyment in painting with either watercolors or oils. Her art and enamel pin designs are owned by collectors all over the globe.

She draws much of her influence from the natural world and the duality found within the cosmos, Blending dark fantasy with mystical elements, she creates a unique, atmospheric style that feels both eerie and enchanting. Her personal work discusses the codependency between life and death, often featuring animals, celestial motifs, skulls, and symbols of death and rebirth. Amanda’s work combines the mysterious allure of the occult with a sense of natural wonder, giving it a powerful and otherworldly feel. It's as if her pieces tell a story from a forgotten myth or a hidden world, inviting viewers to explore the unknown. Her creative process is intrinsically intuitive: when sketching out compositions or choosing color pallets she settles on the version that feels right, letting her spirit guide her through the creation process.

When not creating art, writing, or reading, Amanda enjoys cuddling with her amazing cats, stargazing, and hiking the beautiful woods of her hometown in the Hudson Valley of NY.
