Amandalynn shows her artwork extensively throughout the world. Additionally, she is continually invited to create murals throughout the world.

Her artworks and murals appeared throughout the festival's initial launch in Del Mar in 2015 and will again be featured in 2016 in Del Mar and additional upcoming festivals. The exposure has helped Amandalynn to further develop a strong collecting base. Amandalynn has created 10 brand new whimsical paintings and custom wood sculptures for the exhibition.
