These murals capture our business' aesthetic as well as the cheerful, playful environment that we work so hard to create.

Digital Artwork for Manhattan Play | Jan 2018

Promotional artwork designed for the female-led play, Independence, coming to downtown Manhattan in March, 2018.
​Read more about the play here.

"Amanda did the promotional materials for a play I was co-producing and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the beginning, Amanda was  easy to work with, thorough (so much so, she even read the play!) and in-tune with what we wanted to convey. She created multiple options for us and each piece helped convey what was unique about our production. All of her artwork is special - it’s personal, full of life, evocative and clear and we received so many compliments on the promotional materials! She is especially strong at creating art with female subjects and themes - she’s able to express the complexities of womanhood in ways that are beautiful, honest and seemingly simple, yet richly filled with life. I wouldn’t dream of coming to any other artist after working with Amanda." - Paige, Co-Producer

Commissioned Painting | Oct 2016

"Amanda worked incredibly quickly with my rough ideas to create a concept sketch that blew me away. The finished artwork was beautiful and hit every point I had described to her. She finished in a surprisingly quick manner but sacrificed none of the quality. The finished artwork ended up being a present for my girlfriend who absolutely loved it!
​I will definitely be contacting Amanda for any future commissions I may need." - Abel Tirado, CTA
