Amanda Rhodenizer

(b. 1984, Bridgewater, NS)

Amanda Rhodenizer was born in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, and is currently based in Waterloo, Ontario. Her paintings focus on tensions between people and places, exploring themes of home and permanence, invasiveness and transience. She holds a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2006) and an MFA from the University of Waterloo (2014). Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Orillia Museum of Art & History, and Montréal’s Art Mûr. Recent solo exhibitions include The Larger Forgetting at Open Sesame in Kitchener, and Parallel Play at ARTsPLACE Artist-Run-Centre in Annapolis Royal, NS.

Amanda wishes to gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.
