About AP Studios

AP Studios is owned and operated by the artist Amber Pacheco. (She/Her)

​

AP received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with Honours Studio Practice from the University of Waterloo in 2014.

 

AP is a mixed media artist based in Ontario, her work explores thematic elements of conflict between the artist as the maker and the influence of circumstance.

 

Inspired by her chronic pain, her practice seeks to explore the boundaries of human experience and the impermanence of existence.​ Mental health is at the forefront of conceptualization as it becomes the byproduct of an unforgiving disease and the traumatic events that shape her.

 

Understanding the temporal nature of creation AP hopes to document this process through photo and video.​ Inherently, this brings an influence of pop culture and a social media presence to her work.

 

​Respecting the process from creation to completion is central to understanding AP’s practice with the intention to eternalize the memory.
