About Amanda W Lawson

©

Amanda is a registered Choctaw artist from Oklahoma, living and working in New Mexico. She was born in Oklahoma, but moved multiple times in her youth, notably living in Southeastern Colorado, which gave her a long lasting love of the desert. Eventually she attended Northeastern State University, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, for her B.A in studio art.

Unfortunately in 2006, her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Following this she began a career in public health. These culminated into a period of absence from her art. However after moving to New Mexico, she found new inspiration and gratefully returned to her artwork full time in 2021 . In the time since then she has had work in a multitude of shows, and recently had some pieces purchased by the Choctaw Cultural Center.
