    Amanda Westley - Indigenous Artist

    Amanda Westley is a Ngarrindjeri woman and artist, born in Victor Harbor, South Australia in 1985. Her totems are the whale, pelican and black swan. Growing up she experienced the best of both worlds living the farm life 12kms out of the coastal country town of Victor Harbor. Her father was a boat builder so the water and the ocean have always been a big part of her life. Amanda’s painting style is dot work and the bright colours from my coastal country hometown and the ocean are represented through her paintings. She has been painting from a very young age and her style is contemporary Aboriginal dot art, having always enjoyed painting and the calm that it brought. Her paintings represent country; for Aboriginal people land has a spiritual and cultural connection and is so important to identity and way of life. With her painting she has used a combination of pinks, yellows, blues, greens and oranges to represent how she sees her Ngarrindjeri country. Amanda’s family is one of the oldest Aboriginal families on the south coast; the land she calls home has been a part of her family for a very long time, and by creating these paintings she acknowledges the important connection her family has with this land.

    Leah Grace - Arts & Cultural Development Officer

    In this interview I was lucky enough to sit down with Leah Gace. Leah is a self described arts worker employed by a non-arts entity. For the last almost 19 years she has acted and evolved in the role of arts and cultural development officer for Alexandrina council. There are very few people able to walk the line of government and the arts as gracefully and successfully as Leah; she is uniquely situated in the arts world and has insights rarely found. Her years of experience and unwavering enthusiasm have generated a wealth of knowledge, some of which she was kind enough to share. Hosted by Tyler Jackson Chappell This conversation was recorded at the South Coast Regional Arts Centre on Ngarrindjeri land.
