Transcend downtown is open! Read all about what they are serving and offering on the Transcend blog. They are located where the Axis Café used to be.

On their walls, I have some artwork on display/for sale. Framed prints of my illustration and ink work, printed on felt paper. Most of them come from my commercial illustration portfolio, which you can peek at on amandawoodward.com
