Behind the Brush

Hi there! I’m Amanda Portsche—a follower of Christ and a child of God who finds joy in using creativity to reflect His beauty. I’m also an elementary art teacher who believes every child is an artist just waiting to shine. Created to create! With bachelor’s degrees in both Graphic Art and Education, plus a Master’s in Art Education, I bring both creative industry experience and classroom expertise to every project. Before teaching, I worked in the graphic arts world, where I learned how imagination and design come together to tell powerful visual stories. Now, I get to share that magic with young creators—helping kids explore watercolor, acrylic paint, printmaking, and mixed media while building confidence and joy through art. I have a deep love for all things creative and an even bigger heart for inspiring young people to discover their own artistic voices!
