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 vibrant multidisciplinary artist her depictions of surrealistic landscapes and striking portraits illustrate themes of conflict between the artist as the maker and the influence of circumstance.

 

Mental health and chronic pain are at the forefront of conceptualization as it becomes the byproduct of the debilitating disease and the traumatic events that shaped her.

 

Interested in the human experience and the impermanent nature of existence the intention to eternalize the memory becomes evident as the artwork becomes a totem of the experiences we carry with us.
