About Amber Lee Williams 

Amber Lee Williams (she/her) is a visual artist that lives and works in St. Catharines, ON. She has a BA (Honours) in Studio Art from Brock University (2020) and an MFA from the University of Waterloo (2022). She has taught many classes and workshops (photography, sculpture, painting, drawing, paper making, etc.) in the Niagara region, at locations such as: Niagara Artist Centre, Brock University, Niagara College, Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre, RiverBrink Art Museum, Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre, Grimsby Public Art Gallery, and more. A mother of two daughters; family is at the center of her artistic practice. Her research resides in and around the home; observing and photographing the daily lives of her children, as well as drawing inspiration from the possessions and photographs left behind by deceased loved ones. Navigating the inevitable shifting of relationships, and thinking about how everyday objects can serve as prompts to remembering, are important methodologies in her work. Primarily working in various experimental photographic and sculptural mediums, Amber not only explores the ways in which we remember, but also all that is lost. With a particular interest in the concepts of grief and longing, her work reflects on the ephemeral nature of existence.
