Artwork Story
A strong identity requires strong foundations. When we are connected to culture, community and Country, we find who we are and every part of us thrives. When we stand strong in our culture, our hearts expand with belonging and resilience; when we stand strong in community, our minds flourish through shared stories and journeys; when we stand strong in Country our spirits soar through the dreaming with our Ancestors who carry us lovingly and boldly into our future. Standing on the strong foundations of culture, community and Country gives us the power to stand strong in our identity, not just for ourselves, but so that we can then help others find their footing so that we can all stand strong together.

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.
