Amanda, originally from Kansas, lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her art practice includes painting, film, drawing and sculpture. She is a recent 2020 MFA graduate of Pratt Institute. ​ The invention of her Jungian persona, Crazy Horse, lead to an intuitive investigation of the soul. Amanda's ethereal spirit paintings, and psychological films, transport the viewer to a Nuevo dark fantasy. Her work is influenced through her quest for spiritual truths through the research of her Cherokee roots, Hinduism and Buddhism. ​ An amalgamation of family history, her own family and personal relationships, and diverse cultural philosophies innovate her own figurative language.
