'The Map Of A Garden', inspired by a gardener who would always search for faces in trees. My latest Exhibition. A love for all things nature, I bury my hands into the earth and look closely at the little personalities in the garden. 

The Sunflower Studio, Geraldton, presented 18 artworks for 5 weeks.

My late father was a heavy driving force for the inspiration, gifting me lots of creative moments in the studio and now I get to sit back and relish in the aftermath.

Please take your time and enjoy some fun uplifting colour... and I implore you to go for a nice afternoon stroll to search for the faces in trees.

Cossack Art Awards is a prestigious art prize based in the Pilbara.

Nationally recognized with some incredible judges and a 20k Grandprize. I was so elated to have my entry piece awarded the"Highly Commended", check out the judges comments below. Grateful the piece has since been sold.

'The judges could empathise with the artist perspective while
appreciating the simplicity and deliberation within the
artwork.

The narrative shared by the artist, closely reflected
themes drawing back to the circle of life, put into a real-world
experience. They admired the artists skilled mark-making,
layering, and scratching techniques, which all blend
harmoniously.

The artwork allows one to witness the artist

subconscious expressions on the canvas.

Geraldton

 

Over the past few years, I have spent most of my creative energy on the road, whether the year overseas during covid with my oil paints and rolls of canvas or travelling in our caravan with baby Zali, I successfully managed to hold solo exhibitions, collaborative shows, many art awards and festivals. 

I loved each moment and felt like I cultivated special creative wisdom along the way, but now is the time for a new chapter!

We bought our first home, a little tropical paradise a skip-hop away from the sea, my favorite place.

My partner Jake Drage, the prodigal son returning to his hometown of Geraldton and bringing us with him. I truly love it here, frequently visiting over the years has finally worn us in, for the first time in a long time I can breathe in my very own creative space, my home studio, a place I can dive into and not have to leave.

This space will be a multidisciplinary space, I will make film, write, compose music, sculpt, paint, play, philosophize, build, upcycle, recycle, read, learn, heal; myself and others and most of all, create in Peace, whatever form that presents.

My first project in the new space is an adventure film for an incredible weekend event by 'Adventurethon'. 

Here is the teaser film and also the main film.

'The Bones Of My Flesh'   EXHIBITION

By Amanda Forward

History, ancestry, archetypes, astrology, social & cultural evolution... your evolution.

Why are you and how are you... you.

I want to explore the reasons we are the way we are, and also how healing comes from the deepest parts of us. 

The roots.

'As above, so below', I have been meditating on this phrase for some time. I believe it's one of the most powerful notions... a philosophy which runs parallel with balance.

I'm in no rush with this exhibition, it's taking me on abit of a journey, reach out if you would like to colaborate.
