A Show of her Own: Former Durham Tech student’s first art exhibit opens at Duke’s Bryan Center
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and having grown up in Henderson, former Durham Tech student Amanda Blanchard knew art was what she wanted to do from age 6.
Now she is sharing her talents in her first solo show.
"In January of this year, the student running the Brown Gallery [in the Bryan Center] at Duke University contacted me about doing a solo exhibit during October,” she said. “It would be my first show ever. I haven’t even had a group showing and now it’s just me in a monthlong exhibit.”
