Whether gracefully tapering, curving, or lyrical, her lines were clean, strong, and true. Bold pure colour complemented the lines and impacted the senses with its intensity. Often, the contour line was exaggerated to make the negative spaces more appealing. Sinewy, delicate, and hard sharp outlines translated soft, rounded areas of the body. There was no fuss or ambiguity.

Furlong's work was completely contemporary and minimalist in style. Her large, bright, bold paintings and stylised charcoal drawings allowed one to escape from the fuss of everyday life. With a Bachelor of Education majoring in Visual Arts (painting and printmaking), her skill of placing a mark in one flowing line evolved from many years of drawing and refining her distinctive style.

Amanda Furlong passed away in 2014 after bravely battling lung cancer. She left behind a legacy of artistic innovation and unique expression, touching the lives of many through her art.
