Bio
Karen Light
I had the privilege of interviewing and hiring Amanda for the position of Art Teacher at Fusion Academy. Amanda is a passionate and talented teacher and artist. She has a HUGE heart and always seeks to meet students and mentees where they are at. Amanda is very open to feedback and is hungry to grow and learn. Because of this, I asked her to become an Apprentice at my company, Studio Light Illustration. In this capacity, I have coached Amanda for 18 months during which time she was trained to become a successful freelance illustrator and to become a creative coach. I feel very confident in recommending Amanda for any teaching or coaching position as well as for any illustration service. You will not be disappointed!

I have had the honor of working with the amazing illustrator Amanda Pletsch on my second picture book "Snow Angels". Amanda's talent and communication skills are stellar! Amanda understood what I was looking for and in a matter of weeks she had all of the illustrations done and they are adorable! Amanda and I plan to work together on my third picture book (which is in the works) and on more books as time goes on. I highly recommend Amanda Pletsch and am grateful for her truly incredible expertise as an illustrator. Karen Lee Kelly author www.angelsonyourpillow.com picture books
