Artwork Story
When our matriarchs are empowered, supported and respected by peers, educators and leaders, they create positive and far reaching ripples of impact in our communities and in our nation. In the spaces where women are given the opportunity to come together to collaborate, dream, learn, share and connect is where strength, capacity and confidence grows, building resilient leaders, advocates and change-makers. There is unlimited power in a united community of matriarchs who inspire and encourage each other to create change within their spheres of influence; change that ripples out beyond what we can see and far into the future for generations to come.

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.
