Hi, I’m Amber
32. Female. Eternal Optimist. Cat Mom. Professional Burnout Recoverer. Cloud lover.
I paint to feel the depth of the human experience. My work transforms the chaos of stress, grief and anxiety into something calm, something beautiful.
My biggest muse remains, my inner child. Little amber was never afraid to get messy and express herself. (Honestly quite grateful I waited until adulthood to take more fine art classes — I think any sooner would have ruined my ability to free flow create for the fun of it. ;)
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. In late 2024, I lost my mother, just five years after losing my father. Overnight, everything I thought mattered… didn’t. The never-ending clickety-clack of keys and chasing a paycheck felt hollow.
I was crushing my career goals and climbing that ladder to success until life humbled me. In an instant, it became clear what mattered most in this world.
I thought I had life
alll figured out. . .
I began painting the glimmers all around me.
What exactly is a glimmer?
SO glad you asked!
Glimmers are those small, twinkling moments of joy and hope reflecting the light of life when things feel scary, overwhelming or downright tough.
So what matters the most in this world?
To me, it’s interesting new people, the buzz of a new friendship in a like-minded human. The small moments, favorite places, and a damn good beverage. Nixie sparkling water, old fashion, or craft espresso – I like it all.
