Amber George is a painter and printmaker. Living in a rural artist community in North San Diego County, her property and her surroundings continue to inspire her today just as being in nature did as a child. Her work is informed by her keen observations of nature. Whether in her garden or on a sailboat, her eye is constantly attuned to shapes and patterns in nature. Graduating from UCLA with a degree in Fine Arts in 1994, she studied with Don Suggs, Lari Pittman and Nancy Rubins and chose to explore contemporary art issues in drawing, painting, sculpture and installation. The current body of work is the culmination of intense work and focus. As a result, it is a cohesive marriage of all of her sensibilities - color, composition and subject matter - honoring the mechanics of nature and the brilliance in both the simplicity and complexity.
She lives with her husband David, a woodworker and furniture designer, and her 3 cats and dog Teddy.
