At a young age Amber was taught the basics of painting from her father who was an oil painter. In her teenage years and as a young adult she continued to study art, in various forms, taking classes in drawing, pottery, watercolour painting to even jewelry making. Amber says “I believe that art, be it poetry, painting, music, sculpture… is our human expression and celebration of the world around us.”
After a hiatus away from creating to earn a living Amber returned to art. In 2015 she started taking classes in pottery, then in 2013 she took a class in watercolour painting. She now prefers using acrylic paint and has recently started to explore painting with oils. Mostly self taught she has explored various styles and techniques.
Amber is fascinated with architecture, old and new and is for the most part inspired by urban scenes. She also enjoys painting people and at times will incorporate them into her paintings of buildings. Her goal when painting is to give the viewer pleasure and to contemplate what they are seeing. Many times her paintings will tell a story.
“Now that I am back creating art I am more satisfied with my life, it seems to centre me into a peaceful place.”
