RESUME

Amy Ritter grew up in Eastern, PA in the rural town of Orefield. Her work is an exploration of her relationship to her physical self vis-à-vis mobile homes and their interior landscapes. It stages her memories of her experience of growing up in a mobile home community—a place she left but still feels connected to. Through her ongoing work of archiving these homes and neighborhoods she also creates immersive installations and site-specific public sculptures. She received her MFA from The Ohio State University (2014) and a BFA from Tyler School of Art (2009) and attended Skowhegan in 2016.

Ritter has had solo exhibitions at A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, Loyola University, The Arlington Arts Center, Fleisher Art Memorial, the Sculpture Center, and Gravy Gallery. She was the recipient of Smack Mellon’s Hot Picks List; Finalist for a Creative time grant, 2020; and has received numerous residencies and fellowships including Vermont Studio Center, Fine Arts Work Center; MiXER at D’ Clinic, Hungary; Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC), Trestle Gallery, Yaddo; and currently an Engaging Artist Fellow through More Art. This summer she will be in residence at The Atlantic Arts Center in Florida as an Associate Artist and has a newly commissioned sculpture at Franconia Sculpture Park this Fall. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
