Today, we're looking back at #TheMakers tour of Artist and proud Wiradjuri woman Amanda Hinkelmann's home and studio in Wagga Wagga. ✨
First Nations art is deeply meaningful, celebrating Indigenous Australian people's strong spiritual connection to family, community, and Country. For contemporary Indigenous Australian artist Amanda Hinkelmann, creating art allows her to pay homage to her Wiradjuri heritage.
Many of her artworks hang on the walls of her home in Wagga Wagga, a regional city in New South Wales, four hours south-west of Sydney. They bring life, history, and beauty to the abode.
This home which she shares with her husband and children also houses her art studio which was created by converting the second living room.
The décor choices in the home have been carefully selected to reflect her artworks. This is perhaps most successfully achieved in the primary bedroom where warm tones of Terracotta, Peach, and Rosewater beautifully match the the aerial landscape painting that hangs above the bed.
