Four nights a week for four years of my life I climbed up the cobblestones of Post Alley past aproned smokers and Gum Wall gawkers.

Amanda is also one of the busiest people we know – a writer for City Arts, a brilliant water-colorist, a socialite on the pathways of Capitol Hill and much, much more.

A man leaning over a chair, another man squatting shirtless, a woman helping to pick up a friend by his arm. These moments, often lost in the day-to-day, are not forgotten by artist Anne Petty. She captures these awkward, human moments in rich paintings. We wanted to catch up with Anne, who was a contributor to our third print edition, Monarch #3, and ask her about her work.
