Evening Read

Evening Read is an artwork which is part of my ongoing series of interior works. Evening Read provides an imagined, yet familiar landscape with the intention of inducing feelings of comfort and connection. Small details may arouse feelings of nostalgia or a direct correlation to the situations of current daily life. Scenes that provide a connection and enable the viewer their own personal narrative.

Amanda Ogilby is a Margaret River artist known for her atmospheric and refined still life oil paintings. Her work balances a modern aesthetic with traditional techniques, showcasing a strong foundation in representational realism and a sensitivity to light, tone, and detail. Amanda’s artwork may include carefully chosen homewares, florals, and seasonal produce to create quietly evocative compositions with a sense of calm and presence.
Inspired by a creative upbringing and a return to painting later in life, Amanda now works exclusively in oils—drawn to their depth and subtlety. Her practice is both contemplative and intuitive, shaped by a deep appreciation for beauty in the everyday.
Amanda has been a finalist in the Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award (2025,2024,2023 Salon), QLD, the 2025 The Next Big Thing Art Prize, QLD and in the 2023 Unearthed Art Prize, Vic. Her still life artworks are sought after by collectors and interior enthusiasts across Australia, offering timeless additions to contemporary spaces.
