Amy Sibenaler is an emerging Australian visual artist working in the field of figurative painting and drawing.  Born in Clare South Australia, she has been influenced by country South Australia where family, labour and endurance were central to daily life. Raised within close familial bonds that carried both strength and fragility, resilience was learned through ways people adapt, cope and care for on another.
