Amanda Dannáe Romero is a nuevomexicanx interdisciplinary artist and musician based in Albuquerque, NM and was born and raised in Santa Fe. Her practice incorporates sound, video, colcha embroidery, tinsmithing, composition, and performance.

She is a community art and music educator and a founding member of Fourteenfifteen Gallery and the L.o.A. artist collective.
