Artist Amanda Ruck graduated from the Canberra School of Art in 1988 with a Bachelor of Art, Visual, in printmaking and painting. Not long after graduating she moved to Melbourne and when landscapes, and particularly clouds, became a major focus Amanda seized an opportunity and moved to Healesville, in the beautiful Yarra Valley in 1998.

Since 2007, Amanda has been painting in acrylic on canvas, creating atmospheric landscapes with sweeping skies, using clouds at night to depict the weather patterns of her heart.

A collection of her works will be bringing the walls at Grouse to life for the next little while. Drop by for a squiz!
