Amna is a born artist. Her work is her passion. She always experiments with different materials and ideas whatever she felt like.

She moved to Australia in 2006 as a private art teacher and is now successfully running her own home-based arts and craft gallery in Ararat.

At the start of her career, she did professional oil painting for 8 years with successful exhibitions held all over her birth country, Pakistan. In 2001 she felt it was time to move to computers, so she studied Film Making and made an English feature film and won an independent film award in Los Angeles USA 2012.

Amna worked as a make-up artist for Market Australia, Bollywood music videos and has been doing photography and videography for all types of events. Nowadays she has found an interest in fashion design and will showcase her creativity with fabric.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
