Amanda Westenberg is an artist and designer living in St. Pete, Florida. With a background in Experiential Design and a BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design, she spent years crafting immersive environments before returning to fine art in 2024. Amanda's ceramics fuse bold form with storied texture, elevating function into sculptural design.
My work interrogates permanence—how we define value through wear, how the built world collapses into artifact. I approach ceramics with a designer’s mind, shaping bold, deliberate forms that echo architecture, relics, and industrial remnants. These pieces carry the tension of precision meeting entropy: clean silhouettes scarred by patina, smooth planes interrupted by textured surfaces.
The evolution of my process mirrors the themes of my work. Each piece shifts between two and three dimensions, drawn, built, altered, and reconsidered—morphing like structures left to the elements.
I am drawn to the way objects carry time—the tension between what was once pristine and what has been eroded, altered, or abandoned. Surfaces crack, edges soften, and patinas emerge, transforming function into artifact. What we build, we lose. What we lose, we mythologize. My ceramics exist in that liminal space.

Quiet emails with new pieces, exhibitions, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. Thoughtful. Infrequent. Always handmade.
