Amber Santos Learn more about me

Amber Santos is an art educator and artist with over 25 years of experience, including 15 years in online education and creating 65+ activities for the HomeLearners Network. Her multidisciplinary practice is deeply rooted in her German heritage and reclaimed Métis and Anishinaabe culture and includes paper craft, textiles, painting, and more. Amber inspires kids and youth to draw inspiration from nature and their gardens and yards. Her activities combine technical fundamentals like colour theory and the elements of art with somatic, wellness-centred art practices. A painter and muralist with an on-going studio practice, she also spent seven years curating the Nelson International Mural Festival of which she is a co-founder. All of the visuals that you see in Amber's activities were created by her hands!

When I'm not making art, find me listening to music on full blast in the kitchen, dancing and making food for my family:)
