Amanda Sutton Artsy was born in Petaluma, CA and lives and works in Los Angeles. A retired professional ballet dancer, her work often deals with the body and the alien. Her interdisciplinary work explores legacies of trauma, notions of faith and perceptions of reality, and her family's connection to physical and internet-based UFO and conspiracy communities and the sociological and religious implications of these belief structures. She earned her BA from UCLA's School of the Arts and Architecture in 2019 and has shown work at New Wight Gallery, Barrett Art Gallery, Trunk Gallery, HomeLA and other locations throughout southern California. Her choreography, performance and sculptural installations have been featured at Desert Daze and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
