Amelia Milazzo was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1963 and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in her teens, where she has remained.  She received a BFA in Printmaking and Photography in 1988 and an MA in Art Education from the University of New Mexico in 1992.  She has been working as a high school art teacher for the last 14 years teaching courses in Painting and Drawing, Photography, Computer Imaging and Art Fundamentals. 

Her artwork draws on the themes and visual devices of late medieval and early renaissance painters like Giotto and Fra Angelico, reinterpreting them as digital collages using secular subjects and narratives.  These digital images are then printed as giclees or enlarged as traditional oil paintings.  Other serial works explore separate themes or narratives in silver point or graphite with encaustic. 

Most recently, she has exhibited at the Harwood Art Center and the Fort Worth Art Center.  Previous exhibitions include Eighth Street Gallery and Raw Space Gallery in Albuquerque, Gallery Different in Santa Fe and the Southwest Arts Festival.
