Allan Mansell (b. 1957) is a Tasmanian Aboriginal visual artist who works across print, painting and drawing. He has had his work published as the front cover of the Indigenous Law Bulletin (volume 6, Issue 8) and was described on the Bulletin 's website as having “developed his artistic skills as a means of expressing his Aboriginality and love of the natural world.” On the same site Mansell says of his work that “the images that I create are my own. Because the culture which we had was stolen and discarded, I have to create my own symbols. I use my art to tell stories from my family and Elders.”
Mansell’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the Queensland Art Gallery.
