Nicole Dugas
I was searching for three specific pieces of art to express what I find to be BEAUTY, for my online art class here in the United States, I must say your art really grabbed my attention. Before I even read the title of your work, for the Postcards it was like I already knew what they said... the one entitled, Postcard to an Unknown Lover with the darkness and the light, that really touched me! It expresses exactly what I feel I'm going through at this time. Thank you for sharing. Sincerely, Nicole Dugas, USA.

Gaeme White
I love your work. In particular, Postcard to an Unknown Lover Undated (00) and And Yet I Felt I'd Been This Way Before (02). The emotion and forms are quite amazing and remind me of two of my favorites, Sutherland and Matta.

Sally Doherty
The site looks great, I love having your 'Keep on Going' on my wall, especially when I'm running on the treadmill in front of it and I can just pretend to be running down that road.

Wayne Jenner
We purchased one of Amanda's pieces for our corporate office last year. The responses have been so positive we are now looking to add a companion piece to our collection.

Jane
Great work. I especially like Roadside with the mysterious shoes! Gook luck.

siavash roshandel

Shane Crowell
Fantastic! Such great imagery. The combination of the figures with the landscape is really interesting - quite surreal.

Alice Van Leunen

Amanda, very nice work. I like the sense that you get that you have been on these roads before, kind of a reflective state. I'm also an artist, hopefully will see more of you work around Melbourne.

Bob
Amandareally excellent impressions all the best and then someBobwww.robertdhogge.com

Wendy
Hi Amanda Finally managed to take a peek at your website. I thought that your talent was amazing!Thankyou for giving me the website address.Loved you self portrait and A really big jump but really they were all unique and truly great.Will maybe see you again on your next NZ visitKind regards Wendy

nelly van nieuwenhuijzen
what a surprising subject!my skies are empty and to see your picture was a very pleasant and thinking object for me. thanks.nellywww.absolutearts.com/vannieuwenhuijzen

Josep Maria Cabayol
Una pintura muy interesante llena de fuerza, alegria y color.Josep Maria Cabayol www.cabayol.com

Carmen Vallis
Your paintings bring their characters to the sky. The figures are no longer confined to a set road or gravity and their movements are fluid. There's a dark joy in your images that I'm intrigued by. Hope many others discover your work soon, Amanda.

Paul Ryan
What a talented individual. Your use of colour is both fun and exciting and your work is incredibly balanced and thoughtful reaching out to unknown emotions. The guess work that your paintings inspire really ensures you forget the real world, even if momentarily. A lot like a good movie....I am eagerly awaiting to see future works. All the best.

Marcel
Dear Amanda,I have appreciated your work very much..specially the quality of your composition and techniques...All is a little like the flight of I carus..Take care..Marcel

Kathy Reynolds
Really enjoyed looking at your work. I paint with oils so I was drawn to that. Very original and very nice. Just wanted to let you know.

Susan
your artwork is pulling me to respond. this is unusual to me as i do not usually do so. i am an artist and art therapist. gee, what a surprise, you might say. well, i look at works that i find that follow my experience and intuition. yours belongs. continue your journey and many blessings. susan

Sharon
Hi Amanda, we just had a look at your portfolio for the first time. The paintings are beautiful. They took me off into another little world. Niels really liked 'Via the Ocean Road'. I loved 'Somersault' but it has unfortunately already been sold. Oh well, some money saved! Sharon x

Jyoti Thomas
Hi Amanda, just had a look at your new work and really liked them. I particularly loved The biggest jump ever and bounce. I love the floating in the air theme. They have a real dreamy quality about them I can really relate to.Wonderful work.

Del Peckham
Great Site God Bless!

Jill
Fabulous work. Especially Spinning and Darkness. Would love to see them in the flesh; will you be showing in London any time soon?

O.P.Joshi Ph.D.
Your postcards attract everyone, I like these works very much. Hope that you will be doing more post cards.
