Bio

Amber Lodman received her B.A. from Florida State University in Studio Art (2011) and her M.A from New York University in Higher Education and Student Affairs (2014).

Amber is a Harlem based contemporary artist whose work is based in personal narrative. From a young age she was drawn to bold color and pattern in her work. She explores the complexities of shared and individual identity as a black woman, as well as family, which to her shape a sense of pride, knowledge and love of self. Through creating she discovers more about herself and acknowledges that art has had a significant part in nurturing her through life. The community shaped around art has profound meaning in the work she creates.
