with Mander, I sit down with my dear friend Tiana to explore the root of who I am as an artist. From childhood memories and early creative sparks to the work I create today, we trace the threads that have shaped who I am as an artist. We talk about my process of making and working with natural inks, the emotional and symbolic connections I build through natural materials, and how mixed media helps me tell deeper, more layered stories. This is the beginning of something meaningful—a look at the why behind my work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/f27518d5-34ad-40eb-9c69-113c56b18a82/Podcast+Episode+2+Poster+-+Amanda+Roy.png Podcast This one's a quickie Tiana Correa is with me again. We're going to talk about the three solo shows Mander has opening in 2025. We're talking about sexy titles, how art looks like pies, and divorce art. Each show this year is a completely different body of work. What was I thinking?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/763c42e5-a312-4199-8eb3-3c49fe89f9f0/Podcast+Episode+3+Poster+-+Nick+Biello.png Podcast What happens when two abstract artists — one a painter, one a composer — interpret the same story through different mediums? In this episode of In the Making with Mander, I sit down with jazz saxophonist and composer Nick Biello to talk about our collaboration on Before the Flood, a powerful and personal piece that started as sound and became a 20-foot painted scroll made with handmade inks inspired by ancient civilizations. We dive into the abstract nature of instrumental music and intuitive art, the deep trust involved in creative translation, and the magic of feeling truly seen in your work. We also talk about being present, letting go in the creative process, and how collaboration can unlock layers in your own practice you didn’t know were there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/41eb0f85-41f1-49f0-907e-0fedce8ad84c/Podcast+Episode+4+Poster+-+Andy+Sorenson.png Podcast I'm sitting down with artist and musician Andy Sorenson to explore the transformative and deeply personal ways art can heal, connect, and inspire the artist and the audience. We talk about getting uncomfortable making art and what happens when you challenge yourself to go to the places you didn't even realize you could go. Whether you’re an artist yourself, finding your path in art, or looking for inspiration, Andy’s reflections will leave you feeling grounded, hopeful, and ready to embrace what life throws at you, through art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/ac2bea6b-ea62-483a-8f73-a34b12c7eacb/Podcast+Episode+5+Poster+-+Mercury.png Podcast In this episode, I sit down on the couch with Mercury, an artist based in Hartford who stands out to me as a creative mind who sees and works with art like no one else I know. We talk about what it means to make art in Hartford, the fight for artist rights, and Mercury's own experiences where boundaries were crossed. We also dig into the complicated reality of public art, its purpose, and gentrification. Mercury keeps things mysterious, but one thing’s certain: they don’t hold back. This conversation is real, and bound to get people talking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/4f19b5bd-200e-454f-8a2d-2a7d08bc1656/Podcast+Episode+6+Poster+-+Brandon+Serafino.png Podcast In this episode of In the Making with Mander, I sit down with musician, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Brandon Serafino to talk about the inspiration that can be found where you’re rooted. Brandon shares how his artistic roots connect him to community and the evolution so many artists go through with time, practice and maturity. We talk about building a creative life here in Hartford, engaging in the art scene beyond Connecticut’s Capitol City, and why teaching the next generation of musicians is central to his practice. This is a conversation about where art begins, how it grows, and the roots that keep us grounded. https://www.amandaroyart.com/work daily 0.75 2026-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/55992876-49e4-4ad0-aa67-ae1c13c612fa/Before+and+Beyond-Solo+Exhibition+Poster.png Work Before and Beyond is rooted in the cyclical motions of life—rise, fall, and renewal. Beneath this universal theme, however, the work is deeply personal. It reflects not only a shared human experience but also my own journey.

ONE is a multi-movement composition that celebrates the unity that exists among us but is not always apparent as we move through fast-paced lives in divisive times. I performed a live meditative painting alongside a performance of Jen’s original composition, exploring the dialogue between sound, color, humanity and nature.

The process it took to purposefully unravel and reweave myself. Each piece in this show was created during a season of profound change–as I moved through grief, reflection, and ultimately into a place of renewal and endless possibilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/e7fcc26d-47af-4e70-833f-2788b1acca3c/What+Echoes+Within.png Work For me, music is like a magic portal. It connects me to memory, emotion, and the present moment. In What Echoes Within, I translate songs that resonate with me into visual interpretations, each piece a part of my life’s soundtrack, capturing moments that linger long after the music fades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/923a3c84-4ac4-40a3-8291-a0efd5d4895c/Good+Enough-Natural+Pigment+Abstract.jpeg Work "Good Enough" | Just Art Exhibition | Gallery 66 | New Britain, CT | September 15 - November 8, 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66848a349cc512537a04cb81/be06adbe-6da1-4814-a2f4-8f373a8849fc/AUMENSpring.PNG Work AUMEN: A meditative sound and visual art collaboration with composer Andy Sorenson of AUMEN Music.
