Amelia is Programme Director for BA (Hons) Illustration at Cardiff School of Art & Design. She was a co founder in 2010 of Illustration Research which has held symposiums in Cardiff, Manchester, Krakow, Oxford and this year India. Illustration Reserach advocates the exploration of the discpline and its purpose. In 2003 she brought Ark magazine back to life at the RCA (renaming it ARC) and in 2004 she was a founding member of the influential Illustration publication 'Le Gun'.
Amelia's practice hopes to enable a periscoped perspective, within teaching and storytelling and through understanding the significance of interior monologue and illustration’s ventriloquistic abilities. Whilst in residence at the Studio, Amelia investigated redolent technology.
