Amelia Key
Sculpture · Jackson, MS
Amelia Key is a sculptor based in Jackson, Mississippi. She grew up in Dothan, Alabama, and moved to Jackson in 2007 to attend Belhaven University, where she began sculpting and earned her bachelor’s degree in art in 2011. She later completed her MFA at the University of Oklahoma in 2023, and joined Manchester AIR at The Factory on Willow in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the Fall 2025 session.
About the work
Key describes her art-making as a process of discovery. Rather than beginning with a fixed image, she starts by setting the parameters of a piece, whether it will hang, sit on a wall or fill a room as an installation, and lets the form reveal itself through making.
