Amanda Emmett
Cairns-based painter and photographer.

Amanda Emmett creates richly detailed, fluid paintings that dwell on the fragility of our natural world and the consequences of human actions. Driven by a belief in “revealing what we do not see but know,” she layers precise imagery and clear form to evoke emotional resonance and prompt reflection. Raised in a family of artists, Emmett channels her early encouragement to explore beneath surfaces into art that exposes hidden truths about environmental degradation, social behaviour, consumption, and pollution.

Through beautiful yet unsettling imagery, Emmett’s work stirs empathy and encourages positive engagement with the planet's future.
