I'm an artist...

I’ve always been an artist. Painting is my love, but I’ve also made pottery, woven art, computer graphics, 3D art using natural elements, fabric sculptures, and so much more. I live in Carmel, California, and managed a successful business with my business and life partner. He and I designed and built harmonious, sustainable, and net-zero homes that incorporated clean air systems, passive and active solar energy, as well as rainwater collection systems. Now I get to make art full-time.

I studied art and design at various colleges including Monterey Peninsula College, Design Institute of San Diego, Portland State University, Portland Community College, and during my high school years.

One of my favorite places to visit is SFMOMA. I LOVE painting abstracts. I vibe with the quiet I can create using colour and texture. To me, abstract art asks, while figurative art—no shade—tells. I love the way abstracts make me feel, and cause me to think, sometimes in a brand new way. Painting without defined lines and boundaries, to me, is like running to the edge of a cliff and jumping off.

 

This collection shows my work from the early Peter Max hearts, garden and flower paintings, and magical house paintings to my current canvases which are metallic abstract paintings with texture.

Thanks for visiting and Lots of Love,
Amber Archangel
