The Wiradjuri founder and artist behind Because of My Four believes that change starts with meaningful conversations; person to person and on the canvas.

By Riley Wilson

When Amanda Hinkelmann sits down to create, she prepares to tell a story. Her language of choice is paint and brushes, thick impastos and smooth acrylics that whisper and yell with varying degrees of tone and colour.

“I’m really uncomfortable calling myself an artist, and I still don’t, which is weird because I’ve been painting for years now professionally,”she says. “I’d rather call myself a storyteller. I like to share stories through imagery. A lot of my artworks do have a really deep meaning – a lot of them are around family, community, connection, and connection to country … Special memories that I’ve had, I document that through art."

Amanda started telling these stories almost five years ago, first as a method of regular connection with her sisters and then as a way to process and cope with trauma. A victim of domestic violence, Amanda found refuge and healing in the palette and the canvas. 

“Painting allowed me to work through those things, and it just completed me,” she says. “I paint because I love to and
it’s a form of expression that I’ve never had before. It allows me to put all of my emotions – good and bad – on a canvas."
