In the summer of 2024, Amanda began to experiment more with Watercolor. She was initially inspired by the, “Women for Harris” movement online and by that fall, she had completed several books filled with political art. After trying dozens of palettes, her favorite brand of paint became Van Gogh on 140 lb. Artist’s Loft paper. She found the pigments for portraits to be the most vibrant for skin tones. Amanda enjoys the mobility and easy storage watercolor allows in comparison to other mediums. This is conducive to her minimalist and peripatetic lifestyle.

Amanda receives commissions from here and beyond. It is often a series of unexplained events leading up to the creation and sometimes the validation doesn't come until the end. Amanda chose to include these on her website as a way of remembering those who have crossed over.
