Hi, I’m Amber
32. Female. Optimist. Professional Burnout Recoverer. Adult Orphan.
"I’ve been a (capital A) Artist my entire life. From marring up the kitchen table with paint, to finding peace in polymer clay, art has always been my safe space haven.
My biggest muse remains, my inner child. Little amber was never afraid to get messy and express herself.
I thought I had life
alll figured out. . .
Climbing the corporate ladder and hell-bent on getting that coin, the success came at a cost. I was in overdrive, as a late-diagnosed ADHD girlie, and an overachiever, I lived for the gold stars, the praise, and the productivity highs.
Then rupture hit. became an adult orphan in November, and overnight, everything I thought mattered… didn’t. The hustle. The to-do lists. The deadlines. The never-ending clickety-clack of keys chasing a paycheck. It all felt hollow.I was crushing my career goals and climbing that ladder to success. Until life crashed down around me and it became clear what mattered most in this world.
After the passing of my immediate family: a brother, and both my parents, art has been a space for radical feeling & honesty—a practice of alchemizing stress, loss, and anxiety into calming compositions.
Painting clouds and colorscapes is my way of finding solace and calm in life’s chaos.
I invite you to grab a warm beverage, take a deep breath and pause. Visit the online gallery to loose yourself in peace in the blend of colors.
I firmly believe that your life is your art.
Life itself is a work of art—that the moments we collect, the experiences that shape us, and the emotions we carry are all brushstrokes in a bigger picture. My paintings are an extension of that belief, offering a space for you to pause, breathe, and feel.
My clouds and glimmers, symbolize the duality of life and our spectrum of emotions we experience. These soothing color melds have allowed me to alchemize stress, loss and anxiety into something beautiful - the chaos into calm.
Art soothes the noise in my busy head
and helps me find glimmers of my loved ones lost
