Welcome to My Art Room...
Lately, I’ve been completely absorbed in creating little mini worlds—tiny spaces filled with detail, texture, and story. There’s something deeply satisfying about building a place piece by piece, slowing down enough to notice the smallest elements and letting them guide the whole. These worlds often become places I’d love to step into myself—quiet, curious, a little whimsical, and full of wonder. Working this way feels playful and grounding at the same time, like making a small, tangible escape that invites you to pause and imagine.

What Clients Are Saying
"I absolutely love Amanda's doggy paintings. Her new whimsical style has me starting round 2 of my pack! I am also so happy that she now offers custom greeting cards to accompany her paintings, making her artwork and the joy of my dogs shareable with friends and family. Thanks, Amanda! "
~ Lee
"An icon of one's beloved pet from Pathways of Grace is a comforting reminder of our shared life with them, no matter how fleeting it might have been. In a more profound sense however, Amanda Petersen's animal icons, just as the more conventional ones do, serve as channels of grace, granting us a glimpse into the holiness of God's creation on a deeply personal level. I am so grateful for her work."
~Trina
“Commissioning a pet portrait from Amanda was one of the most meaningful gifts we’ve ever given. She captured not just the likeness of our son's dog, but his personality and spirit in a way that still surprises us. The entire process felt thoughtful and personal, and the finished piece brought happy tears. It’s a gift that will be treasured for years.” ~John & Susan
