About

  • Amanda J. Sisk

    Founder & Artist

    I believe in the dignity of every living creature. Sometimes the subjects and materials we may be tempted to fault or dismiss are the very ones to serve in transformative images capable of encouraging humanity: rats, wounds, and scavenged garbage join hummingbirds, the reflection of light, and the angelic in the studio. My work does […]

  • Culinary

    Art & Food

    Respect for the creative, loving acts of preparing and sharing meals as well as the presence of chefs have led to projects incorporating the culinary world, including portraits for the now closed Home Hill Inn (pictured), logo design for two artisan bakeries, the Ernie Royal Monument for the Rutland Sculpture Trail (carving underway in 2022), […]

  • Literary

    Books & Libraries

    A lifetime of interactions with individuals following their vocations in the literary realms as well as with people who appreciate books has sometimes translated into collaborations such as artist books and literary magazines, cover art and other illustrations, exhibitions, and library partnerships. Here are recent connections under the name of Sisk. 

  • Musical

    Dancers & Musicians

    Piano. Flute. Cello. Little songs. The practice of music is no longer a focus (gratitude to the orchestra conductors who offered pencils and paper instead of private lessons) but collaborations with musicians, music appreciators, and partnerships in support of women in the musical arts have been welcome.

  • Public Art

    Monuments & More

    While career intentions were not about creating public art, this is what has unfolded on the path. Projects that help to make our communities more inclusive and loving as well as honour individuals who have had a positive impact locally and worldwide have been the recipients of this collaborative service.
