She teaches individuals out of her workshop, and courses at select craft schools, including Penland. She has received awards from the American Craft Council, Minnesota State Arts Board, Twin Cities Regional Arts Council, and the Jerome Foundation, and her footwear is worn by clients across the United States and internationally. Amara is the recipient of the 2017 Rare Craft Fellowship from the American Craft Council in association with The Balvenie. She truly loves the art and craft of handmade footwear.
