Amber Tutwiler (b. 1988) is an emerging artist from South Florida whose studio practice spans across oil painting, sculpture, new media, and collaborative performance. Her work focuses on the intersection between digital spaces, the body, and phenomenological encounters. She attended Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and received her MFA in Visual Art from Florida Atlantic University (2017). From 2017-2018, she completed a residency in the painting department at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. In 2018, she had her first solo exhibition, Interface, at the Fritz Gallery in West Palm Beach, and was accepted into the Women Cinemaker’s 2018 Biennale, which was published in the Independent Women’s Cinema Magazine in Berlin. In 2018, she also collaborated as Creative Designer with Lauren Carey of Ballet Florida in an immersive dance and performance, Welcome, performed at the Fritz Gallery. Most recently, Carey and Tutwiler collaborated to produce PULSE, which debuted in March of 2019 at the Kravis Center, Persson Hall in West Palm Beach. Locally, Tutwiler has established West Palm Beach’s first and only artist collective, H/OURS Collective. She is currently a Visiting Instructor at Florida Atlantic University (painting and sculpture) and has won various awards, including the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship in 2019 for Palm Beach County, Women in Visual Arts Scholarship, the Thesis and Dissertation Scholarship, and the Williamsburg Painting Award. She lives and works in Lantana, FL.
