Amelia Winger-Bearskin is currently an Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Vanderbilt University in the area of Video and Performance Art, in Nashville, Tn.

She was classically trained as an Opera Singer in Rochester NY at the Eastman conservatory of music, and then finished her BFA at George Mason University and went on to do her MFA in Transmedia (time based art) at University of Texas at Austin. Her mother is a traditional native storyteller from the Seneca Cayuga tribe of the Iroquois nation. Stories of all kinds weave themselves into her works and are recontextualized to shape her work, unfolding destination, space, and time. She often collaborates with other artists, musicians, actors and programers and considers collaboration one of the most exciting things about being an artist.

Winger-Bearskin has shown her work internationally, both collaboratively and in solo works, she is currently pleased to be working with [PAM] the Perpetual Art Machine, video database and art collective.
