Amanda came to art in her early thirties after developing chronic fatigue syndrome. Previously she worked as an occupational therapist. She studied ceramics at Southbank TAFE in Brisbane, winning the Craft Queensland Prize on graduation. Her artworks include artists’ books, installations, photographs and prints. Her background working with clay has resulted in an affinity for the materiality of various media, including unfired clay, porcelain, wax and paper. She has participated in exhibitions up and down the eastern seaboard, and her work is held in both private and public collections nationally.
