ART BY BROOKS
Amanda’s unique work reflects the contemporary, casual and colour-filled lifestyle of the picturesque Sunshine Coast. Born and raised in South Africa, Amanda developed a love for art as far back as she can remember. Inspired by light, movement, surprising colour combinations and textures, her goal is to infuse these elements and form abstract, impressionist-style compositions. No matter the subject, she strives to portray a balance of realism combined with loose painterly abstraction, causing one to complement the other.

LYNDON DAVIS
The exhibition presents lore as a living system of knowledge, responsibility, kinship and custodianship connecting people to Country. The Lore of the Land reveals First Nations artists’ enduring relationships with land, culture and community, while confronting dispossession, colonisation and ongoing struggles for justice and sovereignty. The works affirm cultural resilience and continuity. Audiences are invited to engage with cultural geographies shaped by story and responsibility, celebrating First Nations’ strength and urging recognition of their rights and custodianship.
