Amy Stapleton is a mixed media artist whose practice is deeply connected to the natural Australian environment. Working across painting, drawing, and experimental processes, she creates contemporary landscapes that move fluidly between representation and abstraction. Her work is defined by a curiosity for materials and a commitment to exploring how place, memory, and observation intersect.

Based on the border of Meanjin (Brisbane) and Tulmur (Ipswich), Australia, Amy regularly ventures into the surrounding bushland and waterways to sketch and gather references. These field studies, together with her interests in science, history, and storytelling, form the foundation of her process. The resulting works convey a layered sense of landscape where environment, narrative, and experimentation converge.
