“On the Cover…Amanda Wilner”, Bozeman Magazine, October, 2012
 
Michele Corriel, “Amanda Wilner: Painting Beyond the Two-dimensional”, Bozeman Magpie Spotlight, Sept. 13, 2011 Bozeman Magpie Spotlight http://www.bozeman-magpie.com/spotlight-full-article.php?article_id=352
“By depicting the objects that surround her, artist Amanda Wilner creates her own mythology. The granaries, owls, horses and barns stand so unencumbered they emanate a power of their own.”…
 
 
Jayne Bullock, “The Art of Longevity,” The Tribune, Ames, Iowa, March 5th 2003, image on cover of newspaper. “…I am interested in my own origin and am exploring these questions of identity in my work.”
