BIOGRAPHY

Amanda Burnham uses drawing in her work to investigate and record evolving urban and suburban built landscapes. She has exhibited at the Julio Art Gallery at Loyola College of Maryland, Dorsch Gallery (Miami, FL), GV/AS Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Harrington Arts (San Francisco, CA), The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, The Toledo Museum of Art, and the Cranbrook Institute of Art. She is also very involved in collaborative work with writers; a book, "Never Cry Woof," featuring her drawings alongside the work of poet Shafer Hall, was published by No Tell Books. Amanda holds BA and MFA degrees from Harvard and Yale, and is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Towson University. Despite having traversed the east coast for the better part of the last decade, she was born in Toledo, Ohio (1979) and traces her fascination with derelict warehouses, sign architecture, purposeless and repurposed spaces, and cars to that city's rust belt landscape.
