Amber Varney (Ambervarney)
I'm an 20 year old student studying Graphic communication at Norwich University of the Arts
I started my Instagram account for my work a little over a year ago and since then I have started an Etsy page and a website selling my work to various customers around the world. Since then, I have continued commissions alongside focusing on my degree.
Myself and my friend set up a fundraising/ charity organisation in Brighton which invites young creatives to paint and draw in various styles and with various mediums. One session had upwards of 20 participants, we observe social distancing of course. We then sell these pieces (one painting sold for £50!) and donate all proceeds go to local Brighton charity BMEYPP (black and minority ethnic young people's project).
I really would love to further my experience in the creative field by possibly doing an apprenticeship or internship alongside my degree to gain experience and put my skills to practice.
