Baker Artist Portfolios

Amber Eve Anderson is a conceptual artist whose work considers the ways identity and behavior are informed by one's surroundings, both physical and virtual. Oftentimes, this begins in the context of the home and extends from the objects and ideas therein to the cities and landscapes beyond. She combines everyday objects with text and digital ephemera, such as screenshots from her smartphone, in playful and poetic ways that reflect her personal experience. The work calls attention to underlying, often invisible systems, and encourages one to engage with these systems in unexpected ways.

She received her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD and has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad. Her most recent solo exhibitions at Hamiltonian Artists in Washington, DC were reviewed by the Washington Post and BmoreArt. Amber has received funding from the Foundation for Contemporary Art, the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, and the Maryland State Arts Council. She has been awarded residencies at Wagon Station Encampment in Joshua Tree, CA, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, and Pigment Sauvage in Montreal, Canada.
