AMBER GITTINS | LIMESTONE COAST | AUSTRALIA
Amber Gittins creates art that explores the relationship between nature, colour and emotional presence. Drawing inspiration from botanical forms, Amber translates elements of the natural world into abstract compositions that focus more on feeling over their representation.

Through layered colour, organic movement and considered placement, Amber aims to create paintings that bring a sense of calm, balance and natural energy into a space. Nature acts as a starting point — a reference for growth, rhythm and softness — while abstraction allows the work to remain open, personal and enduring.

Amber’s work is intended to be lived with — collected for its emotional resonance, longevity and ability to connect the natural world with contemporary interiors.

Well, I’m a dog mumma, exercise and wellness nut, coffee table book addict and caravan exploring adventurer. I paint colourful uplifting art (love going large) that is inspired by my love of heading outdoors and exploring in nature. I truly believe spending as much time as we can being outside in nature is a big key to our health and wellness. Painting flowers and nature has given me a love and yearning for the simpler natural things in life.

After I completed a Bachelor of Visual Communication at the University of South Australia, I spent 7 years traveling the world. Living a care free backpacker life, having fun, exploring different cultures and seeing the most amazing wonders that this world has. Coming home I worked in stressful high paced computer careers in Graphic Design and Investment Banking. These stressful careers created an urge to destress and relax and this came in the form of painting after work. I soon realised I needed this simple, quiet world to bring me inner peace and happiness. I set myself the goal of becoming a full time artist and 2 years later in 2019 I achieved this. My perfectionism and hard work helping this transition quickly.

Painting nature is a form of meditation for me, it takes me into a world of being present, feeling joy and contentment. Something that the outside world can often take away from me. My art studio is my own sanctuary, where my inner passion and my true self comes alive. It is also when I can just stop and be still. I want the viewer to also feel this tranquility and calmness through my art.

I want my art to connect with you, as it does with me, and help to bring peace and happiness into your world.

I love connecting with nature when I paint and the soft flowing organic shapes and brushwork allows me to feel that natural energy and rawness. I am definitely drawn to the bohemian way of living and thinking and my art imitates this colour loving, free spirit and soul searching path.

Become the dreamer, build a happy and fulfilling life, be content on being who you truly are. We are all unique and on different journeys, that to me is what needs to be celebrated and loved, if my art can remind you of this, then I am ‘over the moon’ happy! x
