Leisl Baker is a Toowoomba-based contemporary painter celebrated for her expressive landscape and still life artworks. Working primarily in oils, Leisl captures fleeting moments in time as vivid visual snapshots, using a spontaneous, energetic, and intuitive painting style. Her process is both physical and deliberate: she applies thick layers of oil paint to board, then works wet-on-wet to convey the ever-changing light, atmosphere, and energy of a place.
August 31st - September 13th
Amanda’s oil paintings are full of life and lush colour, breathing energy into everyday still life subjects and natural landscapes. As she says, “A still life painting may be still, but it should always be full of life.” Inspired by the French Impressionists, Amanda loves working from life, whether painting en plein air or capturing the fleeting effects of light and movement in her studio. Her work continues to evolve toward a more direct approach that celebrates vitality and the essence of a passing moment.
