Amber Friedman is an award-winning fabric artist, who lives with her family in Powell River, BC following a lifetime of travel and creativity, beginning with her first camera at five years old.

Currently, Friedman is exploring batik painting using all the colours of the rainbow to create various energetic currents.

During the four-year program, Friedman also participated in multiple group exhibitions, co-created emerging art boutiques and taught arts-based workshops alongside recognized artists in the community. She is currently the Vice-President of the Malaspina Arts Society. Her clothes and fashion accessories are for sale in BC, NB, Ontario and online.
