Brooks' unique work reflects the contemporary, casual and sunshine filled lifestyle of the picturesque Queensland coast.

Brooks' large canvases are vibrantly colourful and reflect her love of nature. From her fragrant frangipanis to her patchworks of beautiful bowls, fruit and kitchen finery, her work captures light and form in a breathtaking manner.

Brooks also has an interest in the human form and enjoys figure drawing and painting tasteful nudes.

Her dedication to observing nature is displayed in the way she approaches her still life's, nasturtiums curl out of a blue vase onto a bright yellow canvas, bowls of fruit overflow and jostle with teacups while juicy oranges tumble out of an old Chinese tureen. "When one is in touch with nature no season passes unnoticed", says Brooks.

Amanda Brooks started as a graphic designer, moving on to teach painting, this brings to her work a discipline and lifelikeness that is often hard to find in the work of contemporary painters. Attention to detail, composition and an eye for colour have made her work highly prized, being represented in private collections throughout south east Asia, Europe, USA and Australia.

Brooks’ work caters to the corporate and domestic market attracting renovators, home decorators and designers.

Brooks’ work is highly sought after Australia wide and internationally, and due to demand she now paints on a full time basis.
