Amanda Kostas (she/they) is a multi method artist whose work is deeply influenced by the beauty of nature and the intricate details of tattoo art. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing the essence of her surroundings, Amanda's pieces reflect a harmonious blend of delicate lines and vibrant washes of colour.

Inspired by her grandmother, who nurtured her artistic spirit from a young age, Amanda channels this encouragement into their work, exploring themes of growth and transformation. Her art invites viewers to appreciate the subtle nuances of the natural world, while also paying homage to the personal connections that shape her creative journey.

Based in Winnipeg, MB Canada on Treaty 1 land, Amanda continues to evolve their practice, striving to inspire others through her unique vision and dedication to her craft.

A professional artist in a wide array of creative live arts, Dora works to create and support art in the spirit of collaboration.

Working predominantly in her hometown in Treaty One, Dora has over 20 years of professional experience in theatre and film as a director, actor, producer, instructor, voice actor and administrator. A graduate from the University of Winnipeg honours theatre program, and a participant in Stratford’s Michael Langham Workshop for Assistant Directors, Dora’s training in voice, movement, direction and classical theatre has led her down an enriched artistic path. As a director Dora strives to produce risky, non-traditional work in safe, supportive settings where every person in the room has a voice.

Founding Producer of Shakespeare in the Pub and play ON Theatre, Youth Mentorship Programs Manager at Creative Manitoba, member of The Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir, banjo player on the rise, specialized theatre workshop instructor, and her favourite role as “mom” Dora wears many hats and is a driven cheerleader for our Winnipeg arts community.

Dora is excited to be growing her practice as a freelance director, and diving deeper into the world of music banjo right now!
