Artwork
I used oil paint to complete this piece. The background has a fair amount of layers and textures of the paint built up. I love painting people, but am finding a wonderful balance between creating a realistic person together with an abstract background. Creating the background is a very therapeutic and freeing process for me.

Bigger is better. For Amber Reid, the actions required to create large art are directly linked to the power of her pieces. She loves to create pieces that engulf the viewer. She draws inspiration from many feminists and performance artists of the 60s. To tell a story racked with emotion, Amber creates work with words and lines from her favorite books or songs.

Very excited to have just purchased 'Pilgrim Soul.' It will look beautiful in our new house and pays homage to my incredible wife.
- D LemieuxMy husband and I love the piece we just purchased. (Wolf). It is the perfect blend of the feminine and the masculine, fantasy and realistic, rugged and refined. It speaks to me on many levels. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you so much. What a sweet sentiment. I'm glad to know it's going to such a loving, happy home. That means a lot to me. Will be shipping it shortly!

Hi Ernie! So glad you like my work! I hope to be adding some more paintings by the end of this year : )

I recently created a personal site for my work. (It's about time!) Check it out at amberfloradixon.com
So glad you like the painting! Thank you for taking an interest in my work. It inspires me to work harder and do more : )
Just got your painting. It was our first purchase of art. We love it. Love it.
Dear Amber, I recently taken delivery of your piece titled "About so much to say" and should have it framed in a week or two. Im really enjoying it and I think my friends will too since I frequently entertain at home, do keep in touch and look forward seeing future work, Clive from Dubai x
Hi Jackie! Thank you for the lovely post. It is beyond amazing that my stuff is helping inspire you to make it to art school, because I feel like I was JUST that age and longing to go myself. It feels like yesterday! You must be super excited. Enjoy this period of your life, it holds nothing but endless possibilities. If you ever want to write, or send me some photos of your art, feel free to! I'd love to see your stuff. And I can show you a couple others of mine that didn't make it on to Ugallery. Good luck with everything fellow artist!
Hey, Amber! I'm a senior in high school this year. Your work inspires me to make it to art school in the near future. I hope to one day purchase a piece. Thank you again for your work. I absolutely love it! :)
Thank you so much M Kenig for taking the time to write and the kind words. It can be discouraging trying being an artist sometimes, but comments like yours and knowing that someone out there is intrigued and cares, truly gives me a rush and reminds me that all this is worthwhile.
Amber, I have to agree with Case, "Wrapped Up" and "Jessy" are spectacular. But there is something about "Never Alone" that just draws me. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Case! I really appreciate the support, it means the world to me : ) The paintings will be waiting, and in the meantime I'll try to get some more up for you to enjoy. Thanks again- you brightened my day!
Amber, I am hoping "Wrapped Up" and "Jessy" are still available in 1-2 years. I'm saving up to buy them. They're incredible. I love it. I can't wait to see more from you. Good luck with your passion and career!
Hi Amber - Just purchased Eyes Behind Flower, can't wait to see it in person. I really love your artwork! thanks and good luck!
I graduated from CSULB few years back. I never like to work on portrait but you gave me a different view. Cool stuff.
Thank you S Runyan! I really appreciate the comment, tremendously, and am very glad you like the Blues painting. I'm sorry if it's on the expensive side, but big canvases aren't cheap for students these days =( and also, the ties are my grandpa's, so it's a little sentimental. I haven't added any artwork for a long time unfortunately, but definitely will be soon during winter break... so keep on checking back and you might find another you like! Thanks again for taking an interest!
I love your artwork! I have been looking at your profile all day! The blues piece is my favorite! I just wish I could afford it
Milky- I am sorry it took so long for me to answer! The lyrics are from an Avril Lavigne song. I don't necessarily like her, but the words of the song really hit home for me. Hope you are enjoying it.
What is the origin of the lyrics from your "Lyric Hair" piece? Is that your own words or from elsewhere?
I just bought Lyric hair. It looks even better in person. Thanks.
I love your artwork. The pieces Green portrait, Lyric hair and Music man are really sweet. Look forward to purchasing a piece from the site.
