Undergraduate at Virginia Commonwealth University and graduate of Tidewater Community College
About me
Amanda Gary
I am an undergraduate at Virginia Commonwealth University currently in the AFO program. I aspire to join the Art Education department in Fall 2024. Next semester, I will begin working toward a minor in Painting and Prinkmaking to further support my educational advancement.
Because I am a transfer student coming from a community college, I have had a unique experience at VCU thus far. My time in the Tidewater Community College Studio Arts program built up my foundational knowledge and allowed the time to experiment with multiple different mediums. I graduated from TCC with an Associates in Studio Arts. I have lived and studied in Virginia my entire life, enriching myself in both Norfolk and Richmond's deep creative roots. My work has been shown in MoCA and multiple smaller student shows. Through TCC, I participated in multiple student art fairs and begun learning the business of selling work professionally. Through VCU's Art Education program, I hope to one day become a professor of art and teach others while also contributing to my local artistic community.
