“Then the green things began to show buds and the buds began to unfurl and show color, every shade of blue, every shade of purple, every tint and hue of crimson.”

Frances Hodgson Burnett – The Secret Garden

UnFurl is a collection of abstract paintings inspired by the line in the classic children’s novel, The Secret Garden. 

I hope you enjoy the UnFurling of this selection of artworks. Amanda

About the artwork

Amanda O’Bryan is an artist & designer based in the Hunter Valley, NSW Australia.

She studied Visual Arts and Design at the University of Newcastle and is twice a finalist in the Newcastle Emerging Artist Prize and winner of the 2018 Packers Prize. She was one of three artists at a Newcastle ArtSpace, Atelier in 2019 with Newcastle painter John Morris, and successfully moved into the public realm with the Ateliers ‘Willful’ exhibition in 2020. After working in creative industries for over 2 decades, Amanda returned to the Hunter region after recovering from Ovarian Cancer.

A fascination with florals, organic composition, and the expressive colours of nature is informed by her proximity to the surrounding rural region and flower farms of the Hunter River where she lives. It provides witness to the ebb and flow of the seasons relating to the themes explored in the work, of change, growth and transformation.

Her original abstract artworks are expressive paintings, the focus is on gestural mark-making in an attempt to express the elemental spirit of flowers and foliage. 

Amanda uses eco-friendly, non-toxic, Australian made acrylic paint that pools and veins in stains and wash across raw canvas.

 

 

“Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing.”
