Her work
Themes of stillness vs movement predominate in Amanda’s work as she seeks to examine the push and pull of these contrasting forces in her busy life and on the canvas. Her paintings embody her belief that art itself is medicine as much as it is integral to the practice of medicine. Throughout her time in college and medical school, sketchbooks and canvases were spaces for reflection and uninhibited creative expression. What began as a personal project of healing through art, became a mission to share color and conversation with friends, family, colleagues, and larger communities. Commissions are some of Amanda’s favorite paintings to work on, as she loves the process of getting to know her clients and bringing to life a painting that is uniquely theirs.
