At the foothills of the Barrington Tops is the township of Dungog and the surrounding villages. A place traditionally cared for by the Gringai (Guringay) mob. The mountains (balgarr), trees (wati), rivers (bila), valleys, significant sites, flora and fauna form the Barray (country) that I call home.

Wiyabu (hello), my name is Amy Green. As a contemporary artist descending from Worimi (Warrimay)/Biripi (Birrbay) Country, belonging to the Gathang language group, and having grown up on Gringai (Guringay) Country, my work embodies a connection to my cultural heritage the land and my journey so far. I draw inspiration from my life experiences, stories and landscapes infusing them with a modern perspective. Creating my artwork involves a meticulous and emotionally invested process that unfolds over time sharing a story that reflects a part of myself. Through my art, I aim to celebrate, express a part of my creative thoughts and preserve the richness of my heritage and culture while contributing positively to ongoing dialogues in community and the contemporary art world.

*Please note artwork will not be shipped until after the 2024 Finalist Exhibition which ends in mid-October 2024.
