Meet the Maker

A collector and arranger of worlds, Amanda Scheutzow takes objects sourced from the cluttered and dusty shelves of junk, antique and thrift shops and transforms them into ominous scenes, replete with darkly humorous monsters and otherworldly creatures.  Inspired by cabinets of curiosity, taxidermy, and the gothic imagination, her work embraces the imagination and inspires curiosity in her viewers. While the end piece is a visual expression of her inner fantasy world, viewers are encouraged to construct their own narratives
using obscure clues placed within the images.

Her graduate work utilized her skills as a metalsmith, sculptor, and
photographer. Amanda received her undergraduate degree in metals and
jewelry at Arizona State University and her Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Georgia.

She spent 6 years working as a bench jeweler for several brands and now concentrates on her own work traveling the county!
