Amanda Daley is an artist located in Minnesota with over 10 years experience as a commercial photographer. She has always loved being creative; finding time to work in all art mediums. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) at Utah State University, emphasizing in Photography and Graphic Design. Recently, she has dedicated her time to cultivating her original passion for drawing and painting. Drawing and illustrating children's books using traditional mediums including watercolor and oil paint has been her lifelong dream. She hopes to continue pursuing illustration, hopefully making it her full-time gig.  When Amanda is not painting, designing, taking photos, or working on graphic design projects; she can be found wrangling her three young daughters, hanging out with her husband, and reading as many books as she can. You can find her work on this website or Instagram: @that.artist.who.reads  

She is always eager to collaborate and share her artistic talent or just chat about books.
