Bio

Artist bio Amelia is a graduate of Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania and the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, Poland, where she received her master’s degree in Fine Arts and Art Education. She is currently working at Prince George`s Community College, helping Adult Education students. In her spare time, she serves as the vice president of shows for Montgomery Art Association. Originally from Poland, Amelia lived for more than eight years in Southeast Asia before relocating to Burtonsville, Maryland, where she lives with her family, two cats, and one dog. She never tires of painting the natural world and cherishing nature. She captures ordinary moments and gives them a new sense of importance and magic accentuated with the vibrant and luminous color palette.

Artist Statement

Simplicity of forms, the movement captured with few delicate lines and layered, bright colors became the core of my art. I experiment with different techniques like oil, pastel and aquarelle. Combine fondness for linear drawings and sketchiness with expressive, captivating brush strokes. Many of my artworks have the unsaid character; their transparency represents openness for interpretation. Despite obvious inspiration of nature, I do not make an explicit portrait of real world; it is rather capturing some inner thoughts and reflection of the non-visual emotions.
