Artwork Story
The illustration on this card represents the vibrant
Australian bush and First Nations people’s deep, intrinsic connection to the land. The sacred properties found in the Australian bush provide healing for our spirits, minds and bodies, reminding us that the land is part of us and we are part of the land. The bush is a place of ancient dreaming, where we, just like our Ancestors, gather for celebration, sharing, learning and living. At Christmas, we reconnect, recentre and remember that we carry the dreaming of the bush with us always, not just at Christmas.

About the Artist
Shop all Art by Amy AllertonAmy Allerton is the owner and founder of Indigico Creative, a graphic designer, photographer and contemporary Aboriginal artist. Amy is a Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung woman whose family’s traditional land is located in the Clarence Valley in a rural area called Cangai in NSW. Amy’s identity is strongly grounded in Gomeroi culture, history, dreaming, art and language having been born and raised in Tamworth, NSW, where she still lives with her husband and two children.
Amy first started her business journey as a graphic designer in 2014 and, after reconnecting with her artistic roots, Amy merged her skills in digital communication design with her art expression to deliver a modern approach to Aboriginal storytelling in the form of digital art. Amy’s artworks are an extension from her journey of exploring her own cultural identity. Using structure, pattern and symmetry, she uses art to create order out of chaotic emotional themes such as womanhood, motherhood, family, spirituality, purpose and connection, influenced by her own experiences of mental illness, chronic illness and generational trauma.
Amy also explores traditional art through contemporary expressions in acrylic painting, as well as expressing the beauty and peace in minimalism through textured art.
