Amelia Rozear is a traditional painter and illustrator based in Providence, RI. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2022, she has pursued her love of traditional artmaking through oil paint, watercolor, mixed-media, and rug tufting.

Her work engages themes of transformation, pulling elements of a divine “other world” into scenes of girlhood, original narratives, and imagined reality. She is fascinated by the numerous ways narrative illustration has shaped history, and looks forward to publishing graphic novels of her own.

Outside of her studio, Amelia can be found sharing her expertise as a teaching artist, editing her art history podcast, or browsing the stacks at the Providence Athenaeum.
