Artist, Historian, Anthropologist, Cat-Mum
Hello, I’m Amanda. I’m painter, writer, and generally geeky thinker. I love researching, making connections, playing with images, plants, cats, and drinking warm drinks.
I currently live and work on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. I was born on Kaurna land, grew up on Ngadjuri land, and lived for several years on Turrbal land in Meanjin. I extend my respect and am grateful to the custodians of these beautiful and rich lands that I’ve been fortunate enough to live on and love. I acknowledge, of course, that lands and sovereignty have never been ceded.
More about me? See my CV.
My PhD research is an environmental and ethnographic history of a small place on the River Murray, Cooltong, in South Australia. This place is on the unceded land of the Erawirung people, and is now a place of horticulture and citriculture, part of the citrus-centric Riverland region.
