ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hi, I’m Amber DeCicco

A fine artist based along Florida’s Emerald Coast (pronounced “De-Chico”, I know you were wondering!)

I create watercolor paintings and cyanotypes inspired by light, movement, and the quiet rhythm of the shoreline.

MY BACKGROUND

I was raised by photographer parents and began working in their studio at a young age, eventually becoming their graphic designer at 16.

After earning a BFA in Graphic Design, I spent 15 years working remotely as a designer and photographer while traveling the world.

In 2024, I stepped away from that career and returned to painting—what began as a form of therapy quickly became something much more.

My Artistic Process

Today, my work is rooted in exploration and spontaneity.

Watercolor, in particular, invites a sense of unpredictability that I’ve come to embrace. Each piece evolves in its own way, often in moments that feel a little bit like magic.

I LOVE teaching people this in my watercolor classes, it is such a joy seeing this “click”.

My hope is that these pieces invite you to pause, reflect, and bring a sense of calm into your everyday surroundings.
