Who is Amber?

Amber Rios is an artist based in Clifton, New Jersey. Born and raised in the Garden State, her roots run deep in the Caribbean, with soul ties to Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. Her vibrant cultural heritage has profoundly influenced her way of life—one rich in nature, music, dance, and art—reflections that are vividly present in her work.

 

“As inhabitants of this planet, I believe we all share a deep, intrinsic connection to the Earth. For me, there's an indescribable sense of peace and inspiration that arises when I immerse myself in nature. The Earth is my muse—it grounds me and fuels my creativity. Its presence is a constant in my artistic expression, always finding its way into my work.”

 

Although Amber has been drawing for most of her life, it wasn’t until 2022 that she picked up a paintbrush and began exploring the full extent of her creative potential. A self-taught artist, she paints freely in the moments between her work as a veterinary nurse and spending quality time with her loved ones.

While painting remains a personal passion, she remains open to where her artistic journey may lead.
