Mariannah Amster's first serious study of painting began at the High School of Music and Art in New York City in the early 60s. She graduated from Smith College with a combined degree in art, writing, and biology.

Her work has been included in two traveling exhibits, The Montana Women's Centennial Art Survey Exhibition and the slide presentation Women's Art/Women's Issues, and has shown in various galleries and exhibit spaces on the East Coast and Western United States.

Over the last five years she has focused on computer animation and video as a form of painting. Her most recent piece, Giving Burst, was included in the currents exhibit which premiered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the summer of 2002.

Mariannah¹s fascination with the internal and microscopic universes has developed into a new language where "reminiscent form and abstract narrative" carry her and her viewer into an unidentifiable but familiar landscape.

Mariannah Amster's latest piece, working title "Notes Oblivion", will premier at the 2003 Hillsborough Community College - Ybor Festival of the Moving Image.
