Amanda Bullick (she/her)

is a canadian multi-disciplinary artist and the creative force behind Brutally Beautiful, based on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

Working primarily through photography, Bullick explores cycles of life, death, and transformation, creating imagery that dwells in the liminal space between beauty and decay, shadow and reverence. Her work is attuned to the mystical and the macabre, often taking the form of visual altars that honor impermanence, intuition, and the quiet magic of the natural world.

Since earning her BFA in Photography from the Alberta College of Art and Design, Bullick has expanded her practice to include sculpture and ritual objects, at times incorporating ethically sourced bones as a means of honoring what has been lost and transformed. Through her work, she invites viewers to slow down, reflect, and recognize the extraordinary within the overlooked—embracing both the fragility and ferality of life.

At the heart of her practice is a belief that we are all brutally beautiful: perfectly flawed, deeply feeling, and worthy of reverence.
