Amelia Volwiler-Stanley is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, Michigan. She received her BFA from Hope College and her MFA from Indiana University Bloomington. Working primarily in cyanotype and fabric design, AVS has a strong relationship with many media, often merging them to some degree, including: installation art, printmaking, sculpture, digital fabrication, and graphic design. While exploring the connections of psychology, the human body, nature, and the (a)symmetry in all things, AVS pulls imagery and iconography found in medical illustrations, biology books, pressed flowers, and photographs she has taken in the wilds of Michigan.

Outside of her artistic practice, AVS is a special projects manager for LA-based artist Eames Demetrios and his global installation project, Kcymaerxthaere. 

When not in the studio or office, AVS regularly enjoys lifting, running, and rollerskating. She is a certified personal trainer and is working to obtain her certification in corrective exercise next.
