Amanda McCauley’s mixed media work fuses materials from the natural world. Each piece of art is meticulously made with layers of collaged flowers, seaweed, and other natural materials. With a degree in Graphic Design, McCauley splits her time between New York City and Lopez Island, Washington, where she runs her studio. McCauley maintains pressed flower workshops, empowering communities to be more hands-on with their surroundings. Her works are held in private collections across the country.
