Where Wild Flowers Dance: Amanda Ketterer’s New Exhibition

21 March – 19 April 2025

We are proud to present Where Wild Flowers Dance, a deeply personal and visually rich body of work by intuitive painter Amanda Ketterer. This collection invites viewers to explore the delicate dance between control and surrender, memory and presence, chaos and calm.

Amanda’s practice is grounded in intuition—an ongoing journey of letting go, embracing change, and creating from a place of emotional truth. Her new series continues her exploration of structured patterns and organic, botanical forms—an aesthetic that speaks to the push and pull between order and wildness, intellect and instinct.

The title Where Wild Flowers Dance draws on a recurring theme in Amanda’s work, where wildflowers serve as symbols of women—resilient, untamed, and deeply rooted in the natural world. In this collection, these motifs are rendered through a nostalgic lens, with rose-tinted hues and soft, layered textures that evoke memory, warmth, and quiet strength.

Inspired by the recent passing of her dear friend Rose, Amanda’s new works reflect on how we carry beauty through grief, how love endures, and how colour and memory linger long after someone has gone. As always, her paintings are an invitation to reflect and reconnect—with ourselves, with one another, and with the moments that shape us.

With Ceramic Works by Violet Cooper

Alongside Amanda’s paintings, the exhibition also features a selection of ceramic works by Adelaide-based multidisciplinary artist Violet Cooper. Known for her bold and playful style, Violet brings her distinctive voice to hand-built vessels that are full of personality and texture. Her unique forms and vibrant surfaces complement Amanda’s work beautifully - enhancing the overall exhibition experience with warmth and curiosity.
