Amelia is a multi-disciplined creative practitioner based in Naarm/Melbourne, with experience across visual art, writing, curation and arts administration.

She loves all things art and history and has a particular interest in the relationship between art and social change, and in art practices rooted in feminist and disability activism, informed by her own lived experience of chronic illness. 

Amelia was co-curator for Mass Isolation Australia, the Ballarat International Foto Biennale’s Covid-19 documentation project and has co-curated exhibitions at the George Paton Gallery and Noir Darkroom.

In her visual art practice, she creates thoughtful paintings that reflect universal experiences of home, everyday life and pain, and which grapple with complicated histories. Her work combines elements of illustration with contemporary painting, bridging the historical divide between art and craft and celebrating mediums and techniques that have previously been degraded as ‘women’s art’ or as merely decorative. 

Amelia has exhibited in group exhibitions across Naarm/ Melbourne, including at Unassigned Gallery, Linden New Art, the Queen Victoria Women's Centre and Trocadero Art Space and presented a solo exhibition at Maggie's Art Space in 2019. Her images also appear in publications including The Suburban Review and Gems Zine.

Amelia's writing spans subjects related to health and the arts and culture and has been featured in ABC Everyday, Ramona Magazine, Bramble Journal, Jacaranda Journal and Hireup, among others.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and a Master of Art Curatorship from the University of Melbourne, where she received a Miegunyah Project Award from the Ian Potter Gallery of Art. Currently, Amelia works in development at Melbourne Fringe and for the Melbourne Art Library.
