Mandy White is an artist with Yamatji and Australian/European heritage.

A self-confessed ‘bird-lady’, she loves to paint fairytales and wildlife, including colourful birds floating across the sky. “They are cheeky and show offs, ” she says.

Mandy White worked with animation artist Jake at DADAA to learn how to bring her quirky, colourful creatures and critters to life on the ipad. Mandy is obsessed with Disney and Pixar movies, so learning this process of animation was a dream come true for her. She is keen to learn more skills and produce longer animations with storylines.

Is it a dog? A guinea pig? A horse? Or just a product of Mandy’s obsession with animals and vivid imagination?

Mandy brought this creature to life by moulding papier mache and then adorning it with pen marks and frenzy of tube paint splats. Lots of fun and joy went into the making of this vibrant work.
