Amber
Goldhammer
started her career as a make-up artist working with high fashion models
and photographers. Needing a larger surface to work with, she began
painting
everyday trying new processes, working with different mediums, and
painting in
various locations in solitude as well as at art retreats. This journey
led her
to join Fusionartists to find her unique voice and artistic vision.
Amber gravitates towards the multi-dimensional colors of the ocean in
her works and predominately paints solely with her hands. "The
connection
between me and the canvas is much deeper this way rather than having an
extension of my expression through a paintbrush." The organic quality
is
enhanced by the role nature plays as many of her works are created with
sand
from the beach and are left in the sun, helping to produce unique
textures and
variations in the surfaces.
Inspiration comes to her in many forms. "Waking up to blue sky and
an ocean breeze everyday puts me in a very peaceful place." From here,
she
draws upon emotions and feelings of the past and present to give a part
of
herself in each artwork. Thus the creative flow continues outward to
touch the
viewer, as does the beautiful cycle of life.
