“The Love of Colours” owner and sole Artist, Amanda Lando has been a business operating in the Burdekin Region for over six years.
Amanda has been Commissioned to do numerous local business murals, including The Burdekin Bridge Motel in Home Hill, Tropical City Motor Inn, The Burdekin School and Burdekin Backpackers in Ayr, Jarvisfield State School and Claredale Pastures Café.
In addition, many private residences have booked her talents.
With these achievements under her belt, Amanda has had her name spread to as far afield as the North, at ECHO Centre for Women in Malanda, and to the South in Bowen, and Gracemere near Rockhampton.
Besides murals, there have been many oil, acrylic and pastels paintings commissioned or purchased from her own collections, on a variety of mediums, including canvas, pottery, and even farming tools.
The preparation for these artworks is very precise and Amanda takes special care to make sure they will be at their best for her clients, to produce a piece that keeps for many decades to come.
Amanda feels she is chosen to do commissions because she is always out there willing to give it a go, and show that no matter what other people think, to never judge a book by its cover.
There have been challenges for this accomplished Artist, but they haven’t stopped her by any means.
Being a sole providore has meant maintaining part-time work in between commissions to get her name out there and doing the best possible to accommodate the diary requirements of clients.
Being self-taught has seen her skill recognised and now there is the desire to do further learning in the field to expand her technique.
Amanda has ignored those that tried to discourage her, like many others before her have experienced, and now she has her own business of which she is very proud, and rightfully should be.
Amanda’s clearest message is to “keep going, never stop, learn new skills in the industry that you want to excel in.”
