ABOUT

Thank you for visiting my website! I am thrilled to share my artwork and my experience with you. My name is Amber, and I have synesthesia.

Synesthesia is an involuntary phenomenon of intersecting senses. For example, it is translated as physical color and textures when I listen to music.

This has always been a typical experience for me, and I assumed it was normal for everyone else, too. However, I quickly learned it was more of a sixth sense and discovered that there is a name for it, and there are others like me. So, I explored trying to show people how music looked to me and found another way to connect with people through my two loves: music and art.

One easy way to describe my experience is that when I listen to a song, it's like watching a movie the length of that song; things are continually flowing and changing. It can be difficult to fully capture the entire synesthetic experience through one "frame," especially since I have no painting experience. However, as a self-taught artist, I have attempted to produce what I see when I listen to songs through my paintings. These paintings all hold a piece of my heart, and I am so happy to share them with you.

Here is a link to the playlist of songs I have painted.
