Hi! I’m Amelia.

Welcome to Tranquil Bear Studios! I’m a Boston-based charcoal artist. I’m drawn to charcoal because of its ability to create rich contrast and subtle textures from a single medium. I’ve found that some of the most beautiful aspects of life can be clearly and uniquely depicted in something as simple as greyscale.

So, why Tranquil Bear?

Art is something I pursue for the joy of creating and keep separate from my professional life. The name “Tranquil Bear” comes from a translation of my Hebrew name. Choosing a name connected to my own identity felt like the right way to represent my work while preserving the sense of privacy that I value in my artistic practice.
