About

Amber Goodwin is a Pakistani American artist whose layered textured abstractions explore the relationship between control and intuition, heritage and reinvention.  

Raised in the American South by immigrant parents, she grew up navigating the space between cultural preservation and assimilation.  That duality continues to inform her vivid, tactile compositions.  With a background in biology and a career in medical research, she approaches her work with a spirit of observation and experimentation, where chance and structure work in tandem.

Goodwin's work draws from the visual traditions of South Asia, where color, ornament, and repetition carry symbolic weight, as well as the scientific forms she once studied; cells, cycles, systems.  These influences come together in circular motifs and dimensional surfaces that suggest protection, meditation, and memory.
