Ambera Wellmann

Born in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Ambera Wellmann grew up in a remote forested region on the South Shore. She moved to Halifax in 2001, and despite a childhood love for fine art, it wasn’t until 2004 at age 22 that she began experimenting with oil painting. Ambera embarked on a three-year journey of self-education, creating moody and emotional paintings of the Nova Scotian landscape.

Ambera’s inspirations include John Constable, JMW Turner, and French Impressionism. Her works are often characterized by their magnetic colours and stormy skies.
