Testimonial from Akemi:
Amanda’s hands-on guidance helped me see so many new ways in which I could level up my artwork, from drawing out more accurate proportions and balanced compositions to showing inspiring suggestions for color combinations and new elements I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. Through her digital edits, she also illustrated to me exactly how I could "go deeper with the whites” in my underpainting, which went a long way to demystify the elusive Mischtechnik for me!

- ABOUT THE TEACHER -
Amanda Sage
Amanda Sage is an artist driven to contribute to the development of regenerative culture by using painting as a tool for transformation within the individual and collective.
Her paintings represent multidimensional aspects of humanness in harmonious balance, inspiring a re-membering of an energetic inter-connectedness that is present and shared with all things.
In 1997 she apprenticed for 2 years in classical painting techniques with Michael Fuchs in Vienna Austria. This led to becoming a painting assistant to Ernst Fuchs, founder of Fantastic Realism, for 10 years while developing her own style and portfolio as a resident artist at the culture house WUK in Vienna.
Since 2009 she has been based in Los Angeles and influential in networking artists and initiatives while hosting workshops, lecturing and exhibiting worldwide. Her work is mostly in private collections with some pieces also in the permanent collection of the Kirkland Museum in Denver, Colorado. In 2021 she contributed to a collaborative project with Meow Wolf Las Vegas and opened her first solo museum exhibit at the Mesa Contemporary Art Museum in Arizona.
In 2014 together with designer Shabnam Q, the 'Amanda Sage Collection' was launched online. An independent fashion label leading the frontier of visionary art and fashion. "Wearable visionary art, made with love from threads of light".
She is on the board of directors of CoSM (Chapel of Sacred Mirrors) Alex & Allyson Grey’s art sanctuary in New York where she also leads annual painting intensives with her partner Joe Bob Merritt. They have also pioneered painting retreats in Eco-Villages such as Paradise One, Byron Bay Australia and Punta Mona, Costa Rica. She was instrumental in initiating the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art in 2012 and in 2022 opened the ViTra Academy online with her colleague Alecia Sacred Heart.
Since 2011 she has had an obsession with Trains, seeing them as vehicles of transformation capable of carrying the creative genius of humanity back on the tracks that brought imperialist civilization to the end of the western frontier, on a journey of healing and remembrance of our inter-connectivity with all of life.
On March 24th, 2020 she launched the Non-Stop Vision Train Global Art Jam on Zoom with a collective of her students from all over the world. With the intention to strengthen community and create a supportive environment where artists could be alone together and encourage each other to go deeper with their work than ever before.
When not traveling she can be found in one of her studios in Los Angeles, Vienna Austria or Gunnison Colorado.
