Born in 1980 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Amanda studied painting at SUNY Purchase and later went on to receive her BFA in sculpture from Jacksonville University.  She has studied glass and sculpture at Pratt Fine Arts Center, Pilchuck Glass School, Corning Museum of Glass, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and the University of Miami.  Her career in the arts and manufacturing across mediums has moved her to various locations within the United States and has lead to her immense interest in how we relate to material objects, to our surrounding environments and to one another.  She explores her interest in relationships through the assemblage of multiple parts, color and line.  

Amanda currently lives in Los Angeles, CA.  ​
