A portrait that captures the essence of a woman truly owning her story. She's living life on her own terms, completely confident in her passions and unbothered by outside noise.
We all know that feeling of finding our feet in a new place — it's a journey of quiet courage, discovering new rhythms and skills. This oil painting celebrates that moment when a new chapter truly opens up, inviting you to connect with her journey, her loves, and the strengths that see her through. It's about finding your own unwavering confidence, wherever you are.
Artist Bio: Amanda's process-based practice is inspired by her direct experiences in nature. Using acrylics, impasto mediums and oil sticks, Amanda employs sgraffito, sanding and scoring to reveal the underneath layers, mirroring erosion and growth in nature. She also builds depth through layers of translucent glazes.
Amanda’s work reflects observations of the bush, sky, water and mountains, focusing on colour and texture to convey the feeling of being in those environments. Amanda's process is iterative, with canvases evolving over time, reflecting the gradual changes found in the natural world.
Amanda is a 2023 BFA graduate of the National Art School. Her studies are complemented by training in traditional and contemporary oil and mixed media techniques at the Milan Art Institute in Arizona USA, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Media from Macquarie University.
