About Me

Jessica Amber is known for her vibrant digital art which incorporates influences from Japanese anime Sailor Moon to Disney movies and other western cartoons, giving her the self-dubbed style "Amerimanga." Themes in her work include pop culture and self-contemplation as an introverted feminist, often examined through original characters.

Jessica began posting artwork online at age fifteen. She achieved qualifications in graphic design through TAFE, but is primarily self-taught. In 2012, she was featured in "First Class 12" at Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery. In 2016, her artwork Egg Chair was published in Instant Icon by Trapholt.

More recent work has included designing websites using Weebly for various clients, commission work for local restaurant Winnies Jamaican, and publishing designs to Redbubble.com

For Jessica, artmaking is cathartic. Through art she exorcises demons and manifests desired outcomes. Tools of the trade include iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, and Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. Jessica's objective is to develop greater self-understanding and clarify her unique voice as a artist
