Hi! I’m Amber DeCicco (pronounced “De-Chico”). As an artist and creative at heart, I draw endless inspiration from the world around me. Having lived and traveled across the globe, my work reflects the textures, shapes, light, and colors of the places I’ve experienced. These days, I create from my cozy home studio, shared with my husband and child, or from my favorite spot on a beach towel by the ocean’s edge.

I was raised by photographer parents who owned and operated a large photography studio, where I began working at an early age. By 16, I was the studio’s graphic designer, creating client projects in real time and receiving immediate feedback. This hands-on experience taught me invaluable lessons about composition, design, and customer service. Later, I earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and spent 15 years working remotely full-time as a Graphic Designer and Photographer while traveling the globe.

In 2024, after hitting burnout, I stepped away from that career to focus on watercolor painting—a creative outlet that started as a form of therapy but quickly reignited my passion for art. Today, I’m living my dream, creating work that feels both fulfilling and authentic.

My artistic journey is all about embracing spontaneity. To me, art is a playful exploration where the process is just as meaningful as the final piece. My watercolor paintings reflect a loose, fluid style that captures the essence of the places I’ve called home. Each of these pieces has a story, and often come together in sort of a magical way—watercolor painting is full of surprises and often cannot be repeated! I love experimenting with new techniques and ideas, and my hope is that my art invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the beauty that surrounds us.
