Amanda Westley returns for her second exhibition at Japingka Gallery. Her paintings evoke the coastal landscapes around her home country around Victor Harbor, the Fleurieu Peninsula and the Coorong in South Australia. Amanda’s family are Ngarrindjeri people and Amanda credits her maternal grandfather with her natural inclination towards art and the cultural background of her family.
The paintings are about landscape and place, yet they are a personal story for the artist, a part of her own story of journey back to her family inheritance.
Amanda Westley creates artworks filled with the flow and energy of life along the coast. There are the rhythms of the waves and the sea, the falling away of the cliffs down towards the sea. The colours are of both land and sea, showing the interaction between the two along the land’s edge.
