Artist Biography

Born in Ōtautahi, Amelia studied at Canterbury, then Otago Universities, graduating in 1995 with a Master of Science (Zoology). In 2000, Amelia moved to Wellington for work, formalising her developing arts practice through study and exhibition. In 2012, she graduated from Whitireia New Zealand with a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design (contemporary jewellery), receiving the inaugural Masterworks Gallery Supreme Graduate Award. In 2013, (with support from Creative New Zealand) Amelia completed a six-week residency in Italy, with contemporary jewellery Fabrizio Tridenti. Between 2014 – 2017, she participated in Handshake (a professional development and exhibition programme) with mentoring from Ruudt Peters, a pioneering Dutch jeweller. In 2018, Amelia was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts First Class Honours in sculpture at Canterbury University. She has exhibited in numerous shows in New Zealand and overseas. Her work is held in public (Te Papa, The Dowse Art Museum) and private collections.

“The inter-relationships – connections and tensions – between science and art have been an ongoing source of inspiration. Not just the disciplines, their immediate concerns and broader contexts, but also how together they affect the way I think about and operate in the world. My studies in contemporary jewellery created a new lens through which to explore and frame these interests. A lens which promotes reflection, refraction, inflection and results in outputs that stray towards the edges”.
