Amy Allerton

Amy is the founder and Director 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, Rick, and two children.

Amy uses structure, pattern and symmetry 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. Each artwork is hand-drawn on her iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil 2, resulting in a ‘vector’ image that has unlimited size scalability.
