Ecdysis II

Amanda is a Brisbane-based artist specialising in mixed media abstract painting, primarily working with acrylics. Her work explores themes of philosophy, self-healing, and the intrinsic beauty found in life’s complexities.

Her creative process is rooted in a philosophy of play and discovery, allowing each piece to evolve organically. Through layered textures, Amanda builds depth with movement, contrast, and tactile detail. Drawing on metaphor and often inspired by nature, her work gives shape to abstract and complex ideas, transforming them into something that can be felt and understood.

'Ecdysis I' and 'Ecdysis II' explore the shedding of snakeskin as a natural metaphor for inner change, revealing transformation as a vulnerable process of release and renewal. These pieces invite reflection on the beauty of what is left behind when growth asks us to loosen, open, and emerge altered.
