My name is Mandy and I am a self-taught artist living in Berkeley, California with my family and our toilet-trained shelter cat named Paul. 2015 marks my return to the studio where I vow to bring a backlog of stories and ideas to life through paintings, drawings, collage, and embroidery to name just a few. Some of my work will no doubt be informed by the events of recent years when I was my mom's caregiver; others will be more lighthearted in nature.

You can learn more about my story by visiting the "About" page on my Website: http://www.mandybehrens.com/about/

Stay tuned.
