Learn MoreAmelia is a 13-year-old artist whose work blends whimsy and emotion through bold color and storytelling. Inspired by the world, places, and people she loves, she explores identity, curiosity, and belonging. She works across watercolor, oils, clay, theater, and craft, embracing both favorite and unfamiliar mediums to challenge her skills. She can always be found with a sketchbook, ready to create when the moment strikes.
Who or what inspires Amelia to create?Amelia is inspired by the world around her—the places, people, and everyday moments she loves. She especially enjoys creating art for others. Recently, she made a textured piece with braille and bold colors for a six-year-old friend who is deaf and blind, thoughtfully using different mediums so her friend could experience the artwork. For Amelia, art is a way to connect, share empathy, and communicate.
What is Amelia's favorite art form?Amelia doesn’t have a single favorite art form. She enjoys working with watercolor, sketching, and oils, but what matters most to her is the piece itself, not the medium. She loves feeling inspired and connected to what she is creating, allowing the artwork to guide how it comes to life.
