Amelia has traveled around the world backpacking, photographing, drawing, and attempting to learn various languages. After a long hiatus in Portland, Oregon, New Zealand, Spain, and Africa, she recently returned to her roots in San Francisco. She couldn’t find a city she liked more. Barcelona came close, Berlin and Tokyo were up there too, but as corny as it may sound, she left her heart in San Francisco. Amelia balances her love for both the rural coastline just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and the stimulation of city life. She graduated from University where she studied history and fine art. She comes from a family of artists and can’t help but indulge her own creative impulses. She looks forward to graduate school in design and art history, hopefully somewhere abroad. Although she knows she will always succumb to her gypsy spirit, for now she is happy nesting in San Francisco.
