Hello, I'm Amanda O'Sullivan.

Through my playful approach to collage​,​ I create whimsical worlds where logic meets the absurd. I hand-cut and assemble images of people and places from old books​,​ layering them on brightly painted backgrounds to form surreal landscapes where objects float​,​ suspended in space and time. In contrast​,​ my artist books take on a gentler mood​,​ using whites​,​ muted tones​,​ and natural fibres to explore the delicate forms of birds. These small studies often unfold into sculptural interiors​,​ offering quiet reflections on shape and structure. I’m a Brisbane-based artist working in collage and artist books. I completed my Fine Art degree at QCA South Bank in 2008 and later worked as a sessional lecturer at Griffith University. Now a school teacher​,​ I continue to exhibit my work​,​ with several solo shows and many group exhibitions behind me. My artworks are held in private and corporate collections across Australia.
