CURATOR | ARTS WORKER | ARTIST | WRITER

Amelia is a multi-disciplined creative practitioner, and arts professional based in Naarm/Melbourne. With a background in art history and curatorship, she balances a creative practice encompassing curation, visual art and writing, with professional roles in arts development and administration.

She 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. Her practice focuses on using art to grapple with complicated histories and share often untold  stories. 

Amelia’s curatorial projects include Hysterical Legacies at the Queen Victoria Women's Centre, and Mass Isolation Australia, the Ballarat International Foto Biennale’s Covid-19 documentation project, alongside shows at George Paton Gallery and Noir Darkroom. She has exhibited at Unassigned Gallery, Linden New Art and Trocadero Art Space, among others, and her images appear in publications including The Suburban Review and Gems Zine. Amelia's writing has been featured in publications including, ABC Everyday, Ramona Magazine, Bramble Journal and Jacaranda Journal.

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.
