"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."
- Pablo Picasso

Hello! My name is Amanda Davis. I am a teacher, artist, writer, and innovator. I have experience writing and creating art in all forms since I was young. Writing and art have always been powerful outlets of expression for me. This is one of the many reasons I was inspired to teach art and pursue my passion for writing and illustrating children's books. I received a B.A. in English and Studio Art from Salve Regina University, and a M.A.T. in Art Education from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. I currently teach art at a public high school in Massachusetts where I was recently selected as 2020 Massachusetts Secondary Art Educator of the Year. My poetry and illustrations will appear in the forthcoming Writers’ Loft Poetry Anthology, Friends and Anemones: Ocean Poems for Children and my photograph titled, Icelandic Horse was published in The Sunlight Press. I am a lover of nature, dogs, and all things creative. I am inspired by my students, life experiences, and small acts of kindness. I live in the Boston area with my husband and rescue pup, Cora.

Art is universal. Art is connection. Art is life.
