Growing up in Papua New Guinea and regional New South Wales— and immersed in the natural world — forms and shapes around Amber heavily influenced her formative years and how she saw, constructed and remembered the landscape around her.

Says Amber of her work: “My process reflects on the exposure to nature and the landscape from varying angles. This has informed how I approach my painting process and composition in general. I often section off and simplify shapes and forms, with a combination of perspective which is both macro and micro.”
