Journal: Amber on 'Collectively Alone': Thumbnail
We go behind the scenes with Amber Vittoria as she prepared for her first solo-exhibition, Collectively Alone. In this latest series of paintings, the artist focuses on the process of improving one's self in solitude in order to create change in society. Each work contains a single figure, standing in calm reflection and painted in vibrant multi-colored forms, speaking to the idea of inward reflection creating outward energy and action. Learn more about the exhibition here, or take a peek into Amber's process below.

In these larger canvases and smaller works on paper, scale also plays a role; regardless of if the change you create is in small increments or large sweeping growth, its importance is equally powerful.
