Amanda Paulson is a Chicago-based painter, letterer, and chalk illustrator known for her signature large-scale installations, which can be found in permanent residence at global corporate offices and public spaces.  Her fine art is also in collections nationwide.  An Illinois native, Amanda's experience with Midwest living is one she shares with millions of other people.  Yet individual perception varies.  With a modern take on vintage ideals, her art invokes feelings of nostalgia & examines the distortion of our collective memory.
