Milan Art Institute Mastery Program

Follow. Support. Collect.
My Year of Mastery in Art.

I'm creating 1–2 paintings each week in the Milan Art Institute's Mastery Program — and you can own pieces of the journey.

Meet the Artist

Amanda Palmer, artist and painter, holding a paintbrush in her studio

"Hi! I'm Amanda Palmer — a painter, storyteller, and creative soul on a journey to capture the beauty and mystery of the natural world.

From my first brushstrokes to my most recent works, I blend vibrant color, thoughtful detail, and a deep love of wildlife to create art that invites you to linger.

Every piece is a chapter in my unfolding art journey — and now, you're part of the story."

Amanda

My Journey Begins

August 2025

Started the year-long Mastery Program

50+ Paintings

Original works across 4 semesters

Exclusive Rewards

Prints and originals for patrons

In August 2025, I began the year-long Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute — four semesters, approximately 16 weeks each, designed to transform artists into confident creators with a professional body of work. I'll graduate in September 2026.

From now until August 2026, I'll produce over 50 original paintings as I work through new techniques, subjects, and styles.

Your support helps cover tuition and supplies, and in return you'll receive exclusive art rewards — from high-quality archival prints to original canvases — all created during my time in the program.

How It Works

ONE TIME DONATION

This is not a subscription! Choose your tier, make a single payment, and receive your tier rewards once. Then follow my behind-the-scenes journey throughout the entire year-long program.

Regular Creation

On average, I'll be creating 1–2 paintings per week throughout my program.

Print Fulfillment

Lower tiers receive gorgeous archival prints, fulfilled through professional fine art print labs and shipped directly to you.

Original Shipping

Higher tiers receive original paintings, assigned in the order patrons join, and shipped once completed, dried, and varnished. You'll receive status updates so you always know where you are in the queue.

Fulfillment Timelines

Prints

Begin shipping weekly starting Week 4 of my program (to build the initial library of pieces).

Originals

Typically ship 3–6 weeks after completion to allow for drying and varnishing.
