Amber Shaw started painting and sculpting at an early age. She has won many accolades and awards for her outstanding performance in the field of visual arts throughout her more than twenty years of primary and secondary schooling in Tobago. Amber was awarded a full scholarship to attend International Fine Arts College in Miami where she attained a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Her work is inspired by simple everyday things, much of which reflects the rich tapestry of Tobago’s culture where she grew up. She works with a variety of mediums in her paintings including pastels, acrylic, oil, colour pencils and uses wood, wire, papier-mâché, plastic, cloth, cement, steel, and glass to build her figurative sculptures. Through her work she strives to engage, inspire, heal, amuse, record, and bring awareness and expression to critical issues affecting the world.
