A native of the Seattle area, Amanda Kindregan graduated from the University of Washington in 1995 with a B.F.A. in Painting. Working in the past as a scenic artist and picture framer, she now divides her time between being a mother, creating artwork, and teaching relief printing classes.
Currently her favored medium is block printing, using soft vinyl or rubber carving blocks. A drawing is transferred onto the block and then carved, using linoleum carving tools. Then the block is inked and transferred to the paper by hand with a baren, a traditional Japanese burnishing tool. Multi colored designs require a separate block for each color. Most of her block prints are produced as non-limited editions, meaning they are printed again and again.
Featured at Bluebottle in October 2004, the "Lumberjack Lolitas" series of block prints was inspired by the artist's fondness of the Pacific Northwest and a nostalgia for its provincial charm.
