Amanda Stubits Bio:

Amanda “Panda” Stubits is a multi-media artist that creates using materials which vary from project to project, yet always include dance, paint and music. As an artist and producer she draws from the energy and vibration of her surroundings; channeling light, color, emotion and heart into unique visions of the fantastic. Each piece carries with it a story which comes from the dreams and hearts of the viewer. Sensual and raw, her pieces evoke heartfelt introspection with playful whimsy. Amanda has dipped her hands in many artistic projects, including art builds, live paintings, costume clothing, jewelry, and murals. She currently resides and works in the Pacific Northwest and surrounding area.

The Creature Feature:

This year’s project at What the Festival is “The Creature Feature,” where viewers are welcome to experience a glimpse of the creatures from another world and their environment. This will be a 10-foot-tall structure which includes a suspended crystalline sculpture which will be used as a surface for a live paint by Amanda Stubits and airbrush artist Allie Hanlon (Meltamorphosis Designs) during the festival. T he build itself was designed and built in collaboration with local builder and artist John Bryant. More on Meltamorphosis art: www.facebook.com/Meltamorphosis
