About

I am Amanda Rae, an artist and craftsman based in Miami, Arizona, where I make original art and handmade pieces for my studio work as well as public art projects, events, and private commissions. My work spans watercolor, oil, and acrylic painting, plus mixed media, collage, printmaking, and ceramics—so I can adapt my process to each project’s goals and audience.

In addition to creating art, I’ve led teams and helped grow community arts programs through planning, promotion, gallery curation, and grant writing. I also bring strong writing and content skills from freelance work, and I enjoy combining creativity with practical operations—like managing schedules, payroll, inventory, and social media—to ensure events and art spaces run smoothly.
