Amber trained at the University of Creative Arts in Canterbury.
She then went on to specialise in watercolour and coloured pencil
in botanical art. Amber currently works on private commissions and
teaches botanical and watercolour classes. Her work is highly
detailed with a contemporary style. She is a Fellow Member of the
Society of Botanical Artists, exhibits regularly in London and
Germany, and has sold work to private collections in the UK,
Germany, France and China.
What is your approach to teaching?
I teach in a structured way using regular demonstrations. Students
are encouraged to explore subject matter and test materials before
embarking on a finished piece. Time is spent with students on a one
to one basis to enable them to achieve their specific goals.
What inspires your own work?
Originally inspired by a trip to Kew Gardens in 1995 I am often
captivated by the complex structures and textures that nature gives
us. My aim is to show the beauty and detail of these by using
layers of watercolour to build depth with a dry brush technique on
top.
