Amber Purdy

About the Artist: Amber Purdy grew up in Morgan County, TN and now lives and works in Knoxville. After working as a graphic designer, she is now focused on making collage and mixed media pieces that blend vintage imagery, nature themes, and up-cycled materials into arresting new compositions. She got her start creating digital works but over the years has moved more towards analog collage, carefully cutting and pasting her pieces together by hand.

Her collages usually begin with old books, papers or photographs that she has spent years collecting. She enjoys the challenge of combining images both old and new in an unexpected way and enigmatic way. Her pieces often reference nature, dreams, memories and the ever present link between the past and the present.
