About

Larks photographed in her studio by Denali Kagel (2025)

Amber Larks (b. 1994 Los Angeles) is a Los Angeles-based oil painter whose work blends thematic influences from the natural world, science, and the human condition. The imagery in her work often stems from hypnagogia- the transitional state of consciousness between wake and sleep. Her paintings are soft and colorful, often melancholic, but always full of hope. Amber holds a B.A. from Washington State University and is self-taught in oil painting. She has exhibited across the US and internationally including Hong Kong, Switzerland, and the UK. Her work has also gained recognition through notable art publications including ArtMaze Magazine and Friend of The Artist. In March 2024, she completed the Moosey Residency in Norwich, England and was included in ‘MORE THAN NOW’ curated by Lisa Boudet at Moosey’s London Hoxton location.
