Hi there! I’m Amanda. You may know me by my art name, Mae Wolf. I am a current Art Therapy and Marriage & Family Therapy Graduate Student at Dominican. I’ve chosen to pursue this path because I’m passionate about the endless ways which creativity empowers relationships, sparks personal growth and facilitates emotional healing.

I’ve been a professional artist for over 10 years. I have exhibited my paintings, created large scale murals, and led groups through community art projects. My art practice is my greatest ally, my safe space, and my favorite tool for integrating the many layered experiences of life.

My teaching style synthesizes technical skill building with relational exploration. I’ve developed fluency with many mediums including oil and acrylic, murals, illustration and more. I love teaching people to effectively render their visions and daydreams. I am equally passionate about using art to explore the soma, the psyche, and the unconscious.

An art practice is a lifelong gift which nurtures the heart, a discipline which sharpens the mind, and an ally which can carry you through profound internal transformation. Through my teaching and creative mentorship, it is my mission to offer the tools I have gathered through out my career in a way which uplifts, inspires, and stretches my students into new realms of self awareness, creative joy, and personal empowerment.

Please note: Though I am a current Art Therapy student, I am not a licensed Art Therapist and this is not Art Therapy
