Amber Robles-Gordon is a mixed media artist. Her
preferred medium is collage and assemblage. She also works with
pastels, acrylic, watercolors, photography and oil paint sticks.
She then merges these mediums into to her collages.
Her work is representational of her experiences
and the paradoxes within the female experience. She focuses on
fusing found objects to convey her own personal memories, inspired
by nature, womanhood and her belief in recycling energy and materials.
Robles-Gordon has over fifteen years of exhibiting
and art educational experience. She completed her Masters of Fine
Arts from Howard University in December 2010, where she has received
annual awards and accolades for her artwork. She has exhibited
in California, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, New York, Ohio, Spain
and throughout the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area.
Robles-Gordon has been commissioned by the Smithsonian
Anacostia Museum and Center of African American History and other
organizations to teach workshops about creating paper mosaics
and collages. She was commissioned by the DC Commission on the
Arts and Humanities in 2010 to create a mural for the Windows
in to DC project at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Most recently, she has been granted an apprenticeship from the
D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities, D.C. Creates Public
Arts Program.
