Amanda Cross started painting professionally in Phoenix in the summer of 2002. As an Arizona State University alumnus with a B.S. in Geography, she is inspired by the color and sounds of the ocean, the magic of places she has traveled frequently throughout Europe, Polynesia, and North America, especially Hawaii, New York City, San Francisco & Denver. People who own her work seem to share similar passions. Amanda uses bold, bright, colors in her famous Flags and paints freely using spontaneous splatters. Her new series of work is inspired by Hawaiian sunsets on various beaches throughout the islands.
Amanda is co-owner, and manager of TCROSSSTUDIOS founded by Tina Cross. Amanda continues to paint in Tina’s studio in Denver, CO. Her artwork can be found in galleries, coffee shops, and in homes around the world.
