Amber Robles-Gordon is a mixed media artist. Her preferred
medium is collage and assemblage. Her work is representational of

and materials. Robles-Gordon has over fifteen years of exhibiting
and art educational experience.

University in November 2011, where she has received annual awards

of the 30 Americans Exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
She has been commissioned by the Smithsonian Anacostia
Museum, WETA Television and Al Jazeera to teach workshops, give
commentary and present about her artwork.

the Arts and Humanities, DCCAH to create a mural for the Windows
