Amanda Gerard is a resident artist at Able ARTS Work based in Long Beach, CA.
Gerard primarily works in 2D collage, a medium she loves and specializes in, while also dabbling in other mediums including clay creating hand molded small scale 3D figurines. She is known for her extensive and vibrant portfolio of collages. You will often find Gerard cutting portions of magazines or paper in preparation for a piece, highlighting the artist’s focus on the process of creation.
She is inspired by her favorite Disney movies and her surroundings, often resulting in work that is playful and humorous. In 2026, she created Disneyland, a piece saturated in pinks and blues, and highlights her connection to the park. Amanda finds her motivation in the hands-on process of the collage medium. She is inspired by the act of transforming found images and paper into new whimsical stories.
