Paintings by Amanda Marie use vintage sewing patterns and children’s book characters that are vivid and graphic, bringing the audience a nostalgic warmth—drawing them into the hidden metaphors and relationships while hybridizing spray paint, stencil graffiti and neo-expressionism with acrylic paint. Amanda Marie Ploegsma has been living and painting in Colorado since 2001.

After two years at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, she was represented at Andenken Gallery (andenken.com) where she continues to show her paintings several times a year. Amanda lived in Denver for three years and now lives in the Fort Collins area. She has illustrated magazines, newspaper covers and children’s books. Recently she painted large interior and exterior murals on local Denver businesses.
