Amanda Tkaczyk (1989) is an emerging artist based in Ontario, Canada. She combines bold expressive abstract acrylic paintings, technology interactives, accessible poetry, and performance art to explore themes of loss, belonging, grief, and spontaneity. Her practice is often informed by her academic and professional background in psychology and applied artificial intelligence (Master's of AI, Queen's University, 2021).
Since Summer 2024, her exhibitions and performances include: Third Shift Contemporary Arts Festival (Saint John, NB), Hillside Festival (Guelph, ON), Grimsby Public Art Gallery, Cambridge Centre for the Arts, Hamilton Fringe Festival, and Helson Gallery (Georgetown, ON).
Her upcoming projects include a group exhibition at Art Gallery of Burlington and a solo exhibition to be announced.
Her early career work has been supported by a Region of Waterloo Artist Microgrant (2024) and an Arts Fellowship with ArtsPond Ontario (2025) made possible with funding from Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and Government of Ontario.
