About Manda


My name is Manda and I love Pandas.

Growing up I thought I was not an artist. My father, and two brothers, were all artists, my first art teacher was a man as well and in my adorable kid brain that meant Men=artists Women=not. I am so glad I am no longer so binary.  When I met my husband, Ben, in 2010 he told me something that forever changed my world "to be an artist all you need is a paintbrush or a pencil." 

A few years later I attended my first paint and sip at Wine and Canvas. I fell in love with painting. I came home and spent the next several days painting a variety of landscapes. Fast forward a couple more years and I am now an artist at Wine and Canvas, helping others discover their own hidden talents. I did my first drawing, other than a doodle, on May 13 of 2016.

I am always hoping to find new ways to learn and grow as an artist, and this project is one of them. Feel free to read more about the project on the tab titled "The Project" and explore my art, and other art work of mine, on my instagram accounts. I am thankful for your visit to my page and hope it offers you some insight into myself and my journey.

Feel free to read the Introduction to get a more detailed and entertaining story. :)
