Amy B. Ritter is an Adjunct Faculty member at Temple University's Tyler School of Art and Architecture, where she contributes to the Glass program. As an interdisciplinary artist and educator, her work critically examines class dynamics, the American Dream, and social mobility, alongside the stigma associated with manufactured housing. Her practice integrates sculptural installation, photography, video, and public sculpture, drawing from personal experiences in a rural Pennsylvania upbringing and extensive documentation of mobile home parks across 18 U.S. states.

Awarded multiple prestigious residencies and fellowships—including Fine Arts Work Center (2016), Yaddo (2020), and Anderson Ranch (2024)—Ritter combines archival research with artistic creation, focusing on systemic inequalities embedded in housing and societal myths.
