A 3rd generation Alaskan from a family of builders and craftsmen, Amanda creates and educates in diverse settings around the 49th state. In her roles as painter, teacher, APC board secretary, and commissioner for the Mayor’s Arts Advisory Board, she is just as comfortable with dirt-floor festival booths as carpeted school board rooms. In her role as Programs Director she is looking forward to helping more people experience the deeply transformative power of art in the beautiful setting of Turnagain Arm.
