Amanda Taraska started painting one year ago and is very excited to have her work on display at Peter Louis Salon Gallery. Last month, she made her New York City debut as a painter with her own gallery show, One Night Stand, which featured her collection of sixteen paintings, one drawing, and a t-shirt design. Originally from New York, Amanda comes from a singing/dancing/performing arts background. She was a member of the Student Television Arts Company (STAC), a unique arts program created by Ron DeMaio. In STAC, she studied film analysis, shot composition, video editing, fine arts, art history, voice, dance, improvisation, and drama. As an actor, she has performed in two national tours, numerous regional productions, and most recently created the role of Fanny Brice in a staged reading of the new musical Ghostlight. Endless thanks to her team - beautiful teachers, friends, and family who have been crucial to her growth as an artist.
