Amália received her BFA Honours with a specialization in Photography from TMU and an MFA in Communication and Culture from York University + TMU. Her MFA concluded with a published thesis on alternative research methods for artists within academia and an art exhibition entitled Re-Locating the Canadian North. The exhibit was hosted and funded by the MLC Gallery and was curated and produced in collaboration with Dorset Fine Arts.
In 2020 she received the Toronto Artscape Foundation Launchpad Bursary, which included a six-month mentorship program. During that time, Amália pivoted her art career direction to ensure her future art practice would be in the service of others.
In 2022 she established the Forest Bathing Club (FBC) and gained partnerships with the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg as well as Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, showing up in both of those spaces as an Artist-Forest-Therapy-Guide.
In 2022, she began studying Expressive Art Therapies (EXAT) at a private college in Toronto. (*EXAT is an intermodal approach to art-making that encourages visual arts to be used with movement, sound, storytelling, poetry, music, vocals, and drama.) This drastically transformed her art practice which led to subsequent opportunities including creating an installation and performance piece for the 2023 Good Mourning Festival at Brick Works, offering Expressive Art Retreats at the McMichael, and writing/producing audio tours about the land and its history for TD Bank's Ignite Series.
Over the years Amália’s work has been exhibited in venues such as John B. Aird, Robert McLaughlin Gallery, OMAH, and the MLC and her work has been selected for shows such as VAM’s Annual Juried Show and the SNAP! Photography Auction.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Amália/Emily (she/her) is a queer Hungarian environmental interdisciplinary multi-media artist and activist based in Tkaronto/Toronto. Working within a decolonial framework, her practice explores the relationships we have with the land and the natural world. Often using found objects and materials, her work balances within a liminal space between the ordinary and otherworldly.With a strong use of colour and the tactile, her work has been called neo-folk. Fundamentally, her practice is about our own ecology. The conceptual thread weaving throughout her work is our relationship to the land, ourselves, each other, and all beings in this world.
