B.F.A. Visual Arts, 2007, York University
M.F.A. Fibers and Material Studies, 2012-2014, Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia

Amanda's work is an exploration of line and its 2-d and 3-d implications. Stitch is used in her artwork to explore various concepts such as connections to home, the fibers of the body and more formal considerations of thread's accumulative presence. She will continue this vein of research, expanding on stitch and its many applications creating art works that explore line in the context of embroidery, drawing and installation while pursuing her M.F.A.
