Her painting career has recently launched at Apple Barrel Primitives in Bluewell, West Virginia where she started off painting signs. Custom orders for various signs have turned into "welcome" paintings on slate and painted wood cutouts for interior and exterior decor. While taking a playful approach to painting, she considers the quality of work and the personal connection to the customer to be very important. Outside of filling orders, Amanda plays in different oil painting techniques capturing scenary from her various travels and painting flowers.
