Have Fun. Make Art.
Creativity will lead you down the best path!
Hi! I’m Amanda.
I mix media anyway I can.
Welcome to Pink Love Studio!
I am fascinated by the creative process; how it reveals meaning. Each mark leads me somewhere and changes something. Being creative is an adventure. Wanna come along?
It’s sure to involve mark making and art journaling, writing + poetry; drawing, stitching and going at it with gelli plates. Collage, oodles of collage, so get your gluesticks and gel medium ready for some good creative fun. Sign up below to find out what’s happening next!
Over on my YouTube channel, you’ll find short how to videos like the one below. Mini lessons for big doses of fun!
Creativity is better shared!

I’m also into surface + pattern design. I’ve cracked the code figured out how to design my own fabric! I’ve added my designs to existing products like this backpack below and other stuff you can find in my shop.
I really am into all the media!
I’m an author and artbook maker too. This digital artbook you will find, dare I say it, on the dreaded Amazon, right here. Amazon works for me because I can self-publish which sure beats trying to jump through all those hoops when it comes to getting published. Think agent + getting found + finding a publisher.
I’m very much an experiential learner. I think to myself or blurt out, “I want to make that, I want to do that!” Then I figure out how to give it a try.
Loosen Up, this digital artbook is part sketchbook part poetry. It began its way on paper and in software applications in order to explore and learn digital bookmaking and the practice of keeping a digital sketchbook.
For less money than a latte bought at your local coffee shop, there's plenty to sip in this artbook. Be inspired. Get creative. Find novel ways to support ongoing daily practice.
“I loved this book.
It made me think, it made me rethink, and it helped me to make some changes.”
“An invitation to me, to all of us who are curious, to play to practice to be. ”
Another book out there in our beautiful world, I got to co-author through a super fun collaboration.
Get the eBook or the book Book.
Making art is powerful life changing stuff.
Reflecting on your art making is a way to give you insight into the values, beliefs and mindsets that influence who you are as an artist and a person. It’s a way to become more mindful when making art and in life in general.
With this in mind Tracee Vetting Wolf and I wrote Artist rEvolution A Five Week Odyssey into Inward Facing Collaboration, Self Awareness & Discovery. In it, we talk about the riches of developing your own daily art making practice and outline a delightful Inward Facing Collaboration process to amplify your creativity called Personal Gallery.
“I think you are on to something that will be very beneficial to artists. I think it can be helpful to me too, as a writer.”

I’ve had the fun fortune to get paid to be published from the good folks over at Somerset.
I’m here to encourage you. Have fun. Make art. There are so many places you can go when you do.
