Amanda was born in Melbourne, and at a young age her family moved to Mission Beach, north Queensland, living a beach and island lifestyle. Amanda’s family life was centred around her mother’s painting and art gallery which was part of the family home. Amanda moved away to study Law at University and raised a family before continuing her career in Law. After the death of her mother, a change in career paths and a divorce, all taking place within a couple of years, Amanda is now very happily living back in Mission Beach.
Amanda’s self-help motivational book, Fly, and a children’s book, Nanny Teapot and the Lost Golden Crown, written and illustrated by her, were published by Jabiru Publishing.
Amanda has found a way to live simply and happily, and through her writing she can share this gift with others. In her life, she has come full circle, returning to the family legacy as an artist, painting in a unique style with bright and tropical images that are bold and striking.
