Amanda Bury

Amanda grew up in the Pacific Northwest part of the U.S. She is a lover of the outdoors, and remains forever influenced by her time working summer gigs on farms. Her practice is nourished by time spent in her food gardens and she is a big advocate for supporting your local farmer. Amanda's work pays homage to our food origins and the marvelously complex and deeply flawed systems which get food from the ground to our tables everyday. Amanda received a Bachelors of Art in Studio Art and a Bachelors of Art in Anthropology from Central Washington University. She then went on to pursue Post-Baccalaureate study in Ceramics at the University of Montana. Amanda has spent time as an artist in residence at well-known arts organizations across the country including The Morean Center for Clay in Saint Petersburg, Florida and Belger Crane Yard Studios in Kansas City, Missouri. Amanda now works as an independent studio artist. She regularly shows in invitational and national juried exhibitions. Her work is held in both public and private collections worldwide.
