ORIGIN
Amanda's exploration and celebration of diversity has left me ruminating on the expressions of human cultures and I feel destined to share the accessibility of this earthly and magical source of inspiration. On the cool seaside of Malibu, California, TART Jam burst into creation when her forceful passions of travel and culture met a city with an art community buzzing vibrantly just nearby. Surrounded by art and nestled on the familiar Pacific, TART Jam was born an online salon where the wonder, conversation, and inspirational art and culture may be savored by all.
THE JAM:
HER
I was born in Fiji on a warm, stormy winter night in August of 92’. Eight weeks later, cradled onto a jet destined for the Hawaiian Islands, I crossed a glimmering and vast pacific ocean, an experience that bestowed a lifelong love of adventure. I spent my springtime of life in books, on planes, and by the will of the ocean breeze. Swept around to the corners of the Pacific, I learned colors from the birds, motion from the tides, and oneness from the many different faces with all the same beat to their heart. The Earth was my schoolhouse and its wonder has coerced me curious ever since. In 2009, I lost my father to suddenly to illness. Sixteen and on my own, I was determined to continue learning, seeing the world through his eyes, and showing my loved ones the world he showed me. I went on to study International Studies at Pepperdine University and have been exploring ever since.
