About
Amanda Newman is an internationally recognised mural artist and signwriter. A dual citizen of both the U.S. and Australia, she was born and raised in New York then moved to Melbourne in 2019.
Amanda got her professional start while still in college, landing an internship with a prominent decorative arts company and painting every surface of a high-end mansion. From there she started her own mural company and spent the majority of her 20's living for months at a time in various hotels around the world.
Over the past two decades, Amanda has painted everything from mansions to theme parks, theater sets, community murals and giant water silos. She is passionate about making a positive impact on the world, spending much of her free time donating street art murals to the community and educating emerging artists about the mural industry.
“None of my success matters if we don’t hand the next generations a better industry experience (and world) than we had.”
