Amanda Warner Fruits is a fine art photographer living in central Indiana with her husband and two sons.

Having a life-long fascination with abandoned homes and collector of discarded snapshots from flea markets and estate sales, she explores concepts of fragmented memory, erasure, generational renewal, and thoughtfully reconfigures them into a contemporary family album of familial strangers.

Amanda received her BFA from Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis, Indiana and MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

 She has exhibited broadly in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Midwest, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Woman Made Gallery of Chicago, New Visions Gallery of Wisconsin, and the Center for Creative Studies Detroit.

She was a recipient of the Juror’s Choice Acquisition Award from Sheldon Swope Art Museum, awarded a NEA Individual Assistance Grant from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, and was twice honored as a Hoosier Women Artists finalist by Indiana Lt. Governor Becky Skillman.
