Amanda has been drawing since before she could walk and has taken art classes since she was 5 years old, but it wasn’t until 2018 when she picked up a pen and nib for the first time and fell in love with the art of calligraphy. She honed in on her skills and began teaching the following year. Today, she has taught over 100 classes and 1400 students! She lives her dream working full time as an artist, calligrapher, and designer. When she’s not in her studio, Amanda can be found watching HGTV with a glass of red wine in her hand and one of her 3 cats in her lap. Follow along with her on Instagram @xoartanddesign!
