Amber Malone, alias Gold of the North, is a self-taught artist from Jackson, Mississippi and is currently based in New York. Most of her work is created using water-based brushpens and acrylic paint. Her illustrations are inspired by the feminine form, surrealism, and her life experiences. Her choice of lines and abstract shapes to depict a sense of movement and depth in her illustrations comes from her desire to capture the beauty in ambiguity and unfettered evolution. Her work inspires the onlooker to become lost in clashing colors and shapes flowing in different directions - very similar to a psychedelic trance - while embracing the warmth and calmness that coexist with the chaos invoked by the vibrant colors.
Amber enjoys making a playlist for everyday tasks and moods, dressing to match her illustrations, and the color red. Her dream is to have a solo exhibit in NYC, share thousands of prints of her illustrations, and some day transition her style over to commercial prints.
