Latest News From The Artist ...
Updated 21/10/24
The Geraldton Open Studios was a fantastic experience, I held the Event at my home studio and had 125 people come through the property over 8 days. I connected with so many awesome humans! I actually collected afew pages worth of emails to spam.. muaaaahahaha. jokes. (If you would like to be on the mailing list for special events, live art performance and exhibitions, please send me an email amandaforward409@gmail.com).
I sold a good handful of original paintings and a solid count of prints. Always on cloud 9 when artwork finds it's home. I went to afew houses and helped hang myself along with acouple other deliveries.
Now... I am out the studio on a grand adventure, gathering intel for future creative projects and some self care.
I am a commercial diver by trade, since becoming a mummy I have let my log book slide, so, we boxed up the house, packed the caravan and are heading up to Broome, although not quite the industrial diving I evolved into, the Aquaculture farm in the Buccaneer Archipelago will still grant me passage into safe harbor, keep the auditors happy so I can continue in the industry. I will be doing week on week off swings off a tiny island. Absolute paradiso. I spent years and years frequenting the Island, so the nostalgia is blood-thinning. We will run riot for afew months before returning back to Geraldton to continue the Artisan life. I have completed my first week out working and diving, checkout the review!

My first year participating in an Open Studio. I was apart of an art trail, public could meander through my most private sanctum. Twas exhilarating.

Grateful to be apart Adventurethon 2024!
June long weekend found me running up and down gorges, riding on the back of ATV's and in blowup motorboats trying to capture the best angles for the adrenaline pumped event.
Here is the final cut!!!! I decided to edit 2 seperate videos for viewing pleasure.
'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.
