Amanda Sanford is an artist inspired by the intricate beauty of nature,
bringing life to her creations through mud, paint, and imagination. From
bumblebees on pottery to brushstrokes of blooming florals, her work
reflects her lifelong passion for art, nurtured since childhood and shaped
through experimentation, persistence, and creativity.


Amanda’s art has earned local, state, and national recognition, including
being featured in the nation’s capital and the Mississippi state capital. She
has collaborated with institutions like the Saenger Theater and Walter
Anderson Museum of Art and was highlighted in The Talon magazine for
her silhouette rendering of the Ogle Tree House. A member of the South
Mississippi Art Association, her award-winning painting "Pick Up Sticks"
was purchased by the City of Hattiesburg as a marketing centerpiece.


In 2013, Amanda published her first children’s book, The Dragonfly Hunter,
leading to The Critter Crawler Collection. This imaginative series, inspired
by life experiences, features Amanda’s charming illustrations and includes
two books with original songs by Neil Sanford and Kirk Gore, with lyrics by
Daniel Herrington.
