Meet Amy

Amy Komar is a multidisciplinary artist based in Homer, Alaska. Working across visual, sensory, and material practices, Komar explores the relationships between place, ritual, the body, and the natural world.

Under the brand Switch Witch, Komar extends her visual art practice into sensory art through aromatics, plant material, and folk magic. Her small-batch body care transform locally gathered botanicals and slow, intentional processes into objects of daily ritual. Rooted in the belief that tending to the body can also be a way of tending to the spirit, Switch Witch invites moments of somatic grounding, sensory awareness, and connection to place.

Meet Matt

Matt gathers natural objects such as stone and wood from Alaska’s boreal forests, rivers and vast coastal areas. Finding most of the objects used in Amy’s artwork at estate and garage sales around Alaska, the couple seeks out a limited number of “rust relics” from annual winter trips down south.

Regardless of where each object is found, this ritual of “family style junkin’” is a continual adventure of traveling to new places, connecting with people and objects and listening to stories. Their passion is making art intent that preserves the story of the objects while telling their own.

Gifted with an eye for style and a passion for history, Matt seeks out vintage and antique relics to pair with unusual salvaged and weathered woods, crafting custom frames for Amy’s finished painted pieces.
