Amber Lemser is an Arkansas native. She began her career as an artist at a very young age. She won her first art contest when she was four, a Crayola Crayon contest, inspiring her to create more art. As she progressed through her young adult life, she was fascinated by art materials, and would often spend countless hours trying to reproduce what she was observing. She grew to love the challenge of turning a real life object into an art masterpiece.

Amber’s artwork focused mainly on the human form and how to create the human form with acrylic paint. She had her first solo show in 2009 titled Self Expression, which was based on self-portraits and portraits of humans, and co-exhibit called 20 Something in 2014 based on her community and life as a 20 something year old in a rural area.
Presently, Amber is interested in mixed media, and finds the medium to be a key element in the exploration of different art materials. She also has a love for watercolor, and the unique advantage it has over an artist to work with mistakes. Artist, Richard Stephens, who works in this medium inspires her greatly. She teaches Elementary Art at DeQueen Public Schools. Since starting there she has accomplished many community involvement activities with other art instructors, and strives to build a better community in her school through art scholarship programs for students, establishing a school artwork auction within her district, and creating student school art shows for community enrichment. She is also obtaining her Master’s degree through the Distance Learning Center at the University of Florida. Amber hopes to create a better learning environment for her students by researching cross curricular art activities in schools with fellow educators. She also aims to incorporate art as an important part of people’s life, culture, and heritage.
