Collection: Amanda Mahony
@amandamahonyart
Amanda's painting practice is influenced by her experiences in the local landscape of Kur-rin-gai and the Northern Beaches in Sydney, where she finds inspiration through bushwalking and swimming.
Her artistic approach is process-driven and continuously evolving. She applies and removes layers of paint, giving her artwork the opportunity to transform over an extended period. Amanda makes intuitive and logical choices for each layer and revisits the surface over weeks or months until the work reaches its final form.
This process of addition and subtraction is crucial to Amanda's practice, as it allows her to reveal and honour the painting's history. The paintings acquire their own presence, reflecting the places where Amanda has spent time.
