Amanda Burris

I'm working to "nurture creativity and strengthen multicultural and intergenerational bonds, contributing to the healing of our communities. I have a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in Advertising Design/Marketing from Texas Woman's University, where I learned a variety of art forms and studied the history of human creative expression. I also learned principals of marketing and advertising, which has helped me craft more impactful works. My 35 year creative career in digital media has given me hands-on experience with a variety tools and techniques, and a keen eye for story. I'm embracing my "golden years" by following my bliss and helping others do the same.
