Amelia Williams

amelia williams is a bi-racial mixed media artist from the hudson valley in upstate New York who creates street style pieces with acrylics, canvas, rope, photos, and vintage comic strips. as a mixed race woman, her perspective embodies the viewpoint of stress and confusion with her racial identity. feeling like an imposter in her own skin she portrays honest thoughts, reactions and frustrations through raw imagery using text and dramatized characterizations. amelia juxtaposes flares of emo culture from the early 2000s - the innocence and passion of first love - with illustrated depictions of chaotic, obsessive attachment fueled by trauma, anxiety, and depression. her themes buzz a nerve conjuring painful moments you hoped to have buried. amelia's work uncovers our darkest thoughts in order to heal.
