Amanda Hameline and James Danner met as high school students in New York City. The two have been putting on shows together ever since.

AMANDA + JAMES is the result of their desire to bring together a community of like-minded young artists. They bring forth new and exciting artwork, and also to provide a framework for developing the same kind of friendships and partnerships that make being a practicing artist so thrilling and fulfilling.
