In this week's #TheMakers, we tour the welcoming home and studio of Wiradjuri artist Amanda Hinkelmann (@becauseofmyfour) 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. 💫
"I work respectfully to promote my culture, telling stories through my art," she shares with Bed Threads Journal. "My hope is that each day more and more people see how beautiful and deep our culture is, so we can move forward together as a nation.” ✨
We spoke to Amanda about how painting relates to who she is, her creative process, and the significance of art in celebrating her culture. Discover the full interview at the link in bio. ✨
