I had the opportunity to purchase Amber's original painting "Reflections of a Canal: Venice", and adore how nicely it adds to my collection. I've had the fortunate experience of visiting Venice multiple times, which is probably why I was so captivated by this painting whenever I visited her studio--I just had to have it! The perspective is unique, and the way she's captured the motion of the water is distinctly mesmerizing. If she has prints available, I highly recommend you consider this piece in particular for its tranquility. Perfect for any room in the house that desires a splash of color!

I love Amber’s work! A couple of year’s ago, I was searching for a piece that felt personal and energizing. I asked Amber to create something beautiful and she didn’t disappoint. Since I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted, she asked my for one of my favorite quotes - the outcome is phenomenal and I couldn’t be happier.

When I first seen this, I thought, oh, it’s Italy…this will inspire me to get to Italy. But now that this is in my home and on my wall, I get the opportunity to see the depth of what it bring to me. I feel the peace that it represents, the simplicity of living every day life, enjoying a moment in time knowing that something good is going to come from it. I feel the love that comes from this painting, two people enjoying each other‘s company in the quiet darkness of Italy. The sweetness that comes from the accomplishment of living to enjoy the little things in life. These 2 are what I aspire to experience in life…Love.

It’s a rare gift in this life for a piece of art to capture the essence of a human being. But Amber, paint, brush, canvas and perhaps some divine inspiration did just this. I asked Amber to paint something for me, whatever she had in mind. When I unveiled the painting I was overcome with gratitude and awe. She painted my late father, sitting on a bench, smoking one of his beloved cigars and taking in the Sea in County Kerry, Ireland. And, it was him. His essence. And, if there is such a thing as a Heaven, this would surely be it for him. 
Thank you Amber. You have a rare talent and a huge heart.

When my 6 year old granddaughter came across A.W.O.L. Carousel she said “Gramma I have to have that drawing in my room”. A few months later a framed large print was gifted to her. Now 2 years later she told me she will taking it to her college dorm room someday. Amber’s art has fueled a timeless art appreciation. I am grateful for Amber’s inspiration of my grand girl.

I have 4 pieces of Amber's art and I find each one very different in color and depth. Her art is eclectic which I enjoy and the use of color really speaks to each piece regardless if it is a landscape or portrait. I have the Hippocampus front and center in my living room which I get plenty of compliments.

I love Amber's work - I have purchased several prints. Peace Road, Dahab reminded me of my Lebanese roots and in times like these it gives me peace and hope.

Happy 60th to me! I went to Amber's art studio in Minneapolis during an art festival and spotted this colorful bicycle beauty. The character of the picture really drew me in. I asked Amber about it and she had a very detailed background story which was also intriguing. It is now proudly displayed in my home. Such a gem... both Amber and the picture!

When I first saw Amber Olivier’s painting of her view of the street vendors while she was sitting at an outdoor cafe, I wanted to learn more about this moment she so aptly captured. I was aware of the custom of eating roasted chestnuts in various cultures across Europe, but never saw an actual stand. Amber shared with me that while visiting Turkey, she was inspired to paint the scene of two Turkish men roasting chestnuts and corn at a food cart along with some of people that were passing through. On viewing her painting, I was pulled into that scene almost tasting the roasted chestnuts, seeing the smoke rising and noticing others walking and socializing in the background as well as a woman looking on with a serene expression. The more I stared at the painting, the more I noticed in the fine brush strokes and subtle details that defined the clothing of the vendors and headscarfs of the onlookers. With an artist’s eye, Amber painted a pleasant, peaceful scene suspended in time, using rich colors and presenting the scene exactly how she was experiencing it.

Amber's work has a way of bringing you to a pause. Her use of color has remarkable depth and seems to glow from within. I'm reminded of stained glass whenever I look at this piece. Its effect transporting or grounding, somehow knowing what I need most at any given moment.
