Hello, I’m Manda…

I am an artist sharing the world as I see it.

May you be connected + lifted into love


I am contemporary professional artist and I'm currently exhibiting my work in the midwest. I am represented by Hayley Gallery in New Albany, Ohio.

I am so grateful that you are here. All of the art here was created with a deep love of Nature and a desire to share that with others. We are all full of magic and we are all deeply connected to the natural world. I hope to evoke that knowing in you through my art. Nature is a wonderful healer and the natural world waits to embrace you. My work intends to brighten your life by celebrating that magic and joy that Nature brings us. My hope is that you will be inspired, calmed, and connected to that energy that waits for you to notice it so that it may nourish your soul.

I want you to Experience the Gentle Healing Magic of Nature Through ART

I invite you to step into my nature-inspired art studio, where each piece is created with love. I want to foster a sense of serenity in your heart and stoke that deep connection between you and the natural world.

I know there is magic out there to be seen. The trees want to hug you back. The flowers love your compliments and return the love with their beautiful perfume. The birds sing ancient songs for you each morning. The only thing you have to do is stop. Be still. Listen. My art is my way of showing you…

… come along with me to see the magic.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I gather inspiration from all the intricate and delicate plants and mysterious animals and insects that I see when enjoying the forest, the mountains, and the sea. Nature simply enchants me. Putting these feelings onto canvas with a brush and a variety of vibrant colors allows me to channel the loving and peaceful vibe that is being offered, and I find so much joy in sharing that with you. Many times when I am painting, I become connected to the very essence of the subject matter and feel a mingling with their spirit. As I paint them, they teach me to look at them more deeply, keenly, and with pure adoration. I allow this feeling to carry my hand and inspire my color choices. May the mystery and beauty of Nature bring you so much love and peace. xo
