After graduating from the Wimbledon School of Art, Amelia began working in the film industry specialising in Art and Construction Departments. She went on to study anatomy and figurative sculpture at The Florence Academy of Art.
From her studio in Lewes, East Sussex, she produces fine art alongside commercial and private commissions.
Amelia shares her knowledge through accessible and affordable online courses through Sculpting Masterclass. Her courses on portraiture, anatomy and figure sculpting are highly respected and sold worldwide.
Amelia seeks to represent what it is to be human through her sculptures.
Portraiture is about capturing the spirit of a person. An artist and subject develop a relationship through the sculpting process, and portraits convey this intimacy to a viewer.
When working from life, Amelia works with her subjects to find a pose that conveys a mood or feeling. Through in-depth understanding of the mechanics of the human body, she builds her portraits and figures out loosely and expressively from a solid structure before finding forms and refining the surface.
