Vancouver-based oil painter Amy Webber creates realistic, moody imagery with a focus on the figure to capture emotions, intimate moments, and the complex experience of being human. A self-taught emerging artist, Webber has always had a strong interest in the human psyche; she studied and worked in the fields of psychology and neuroscience for nearly a decade, during which she began casually painting in 2017 before dedicating herself to the fine arts full-time as of 2019. Seeking to understand and connect with people has been a common thread through both her scientific and artistic careers.
