Amanda is originally from Connecticut, went to school in Boston, lived in Brooklyn for six years, and somehow landed in Providence this fall. In between she has lived in Italy, Colorado, Maine, and in a tent on Martha’s Vineyard. Her undergraduate degree was in Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. She also has a Masters in Social Work, but still doesn’t know if there is an apostrophe in Masters. Amanda’s work has mostly been centered on black and white photography and its history, but until recently she has been opening herself up to mixed media. Amanda loves all things pop culture, food, Brooklyn, and spending money like she was born in the depression era (circa 1929). She is thrilled to be a part of NUA this year!
