Amanda first established herself through avant-garde fine art photography that explored contrast, shadow, and structural tension as visual language. Her work was exhibited internationally in Venice, Italy; London; and Dubai, alongside multiple exhibitions in New York City and additional shows in Miami, Washington, D.C., and Denver. Her photographic practice investigated form and presence, distilling emotional intensity into stark compositions of light and structure.

​

During this period, Amanda worked professionally as a ringside boxing photographer, where her instinct for timing and physical narrative distinguished her visual voice. She made multiple appearances ringside on ESPN Top Rank Boxing, and her images have been published and featured in a national advertising campaign for RIVAL Boxing. The collision of motion, force, and human endurance shaped her enduring sensitivity to gesture, impact, and embodied experience.

​

Following an accomplished career in photography, Amanda withdrew from the velocity of the international art and sports arenas and relocated to a mountain ranch in southern Colorado. Immersed in the rhythms of land and season, her practice evolved toward fiber arts and mixed media rooted in tactile experience and natural material.

​

Her current work integrates hand-spun fibers, weaving, felting, and sculptural assemblage with elements gathered from the landscape. Using alpaca, sheep wool, yak, and bison fibers, she spins art yarn by hand on a drop spindle, building richly textured compositions that range from intimate objects to large-scale wall works. Her pieces often incorporate found and natural materials — wood, stone, bone, and ethically sourced animal skulls — reflecting cycles of life, decay, and renewal embedded within the natural world.

​

Amanda's work embodies a dialogue between structure and instinct. Echoing Bauhaus principles of material honesty and form, her pieces remain deeply organic, guided by intuitive process and environmental influence. The tactile surfaces of fiber and wood invite physical and emotional engagement, translating landscape, memory, and elemental forces into sculptural language.

​

Her work is exhibited at Eagle Nest Mercantile in Eagle Nest, New Mexico, where she also teaches beginner drop spindle spinning classes, introducing students to the ancient rhythm of hand-spinning and cultivating connection to material, movement, and craft.

​

Today, Amanda’s practice reflects a synthesis of global artistic experience and mountain life: a refined yet primal exploration of presence, transformation, and the enduring relationship between human hands and the earth.
