About Amanda O'Sullivan

Through her playful approach to collage, Amanda creates whimsical worlds where logic meets the absurd. She hand-cuts and assembles images of people and places from books, intertwining them on brightly painted backgrounds to form surreal landscapes where objects float, suspended in space and time.

In contrast, Amanda’s artist books take on a more subdued palette, using white, muted tones, and natural fibres to explore the delicate forms of birds. These small studies often unfold into sculptural interiors, revealing quiet reflections on shape and structure.

Amanda is a Brisbane-based artist specialising in collage and artist books. She completed her Fine Art degree at QCA South Bank in 2008, later working as a sessional lecturer at Griffith University. Now a school teacher, Amanda continues to exhibit her work, having held several solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group shows. Her artworks are held in both private and corporate collections across Australia.
