Voodoo Dolls A Go-Go
My name is Amber Star Martinez, many know me by "Amberama". I was born and raised in Colorado, the first eighteen years of my life in Aurora and in 1996, I moved to Denver. I've been in Denver ever since. I'm aggressively yet tenderly navigating my way through my mid forties while raising my 15-year old sophomore in high school and rooting on my 20-year old child as he lives the college and work life. I'm a proud Chicana with Creole roots who loves to create and make waves in the art world.
My artistic journey started when I was a small child, I loved to doodle, color, create and be in my own world of making things. Teachers would ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and I would tell them that I wanted to be an artist and here I am. Some of my art is self-taught and some of it I learned by watching instructional videos on YouTube, particularly how to silversmith. There is no reason why I create art other than it's always been a passion of mine; creating art runs in my family, it's ingrained in my heart and soul. It's something I was meant to do.
As far as work, I'm a licensed crisis and trauma interventionist, and I'm a social media manager for a woman owned small business here in Denver. For fun, I love to hang out with my kids, go to shows (I love music so much), photograph everything, visit the hills, drink copious amounts of coffee, take naps, I'm obsessed with the moon and the stars, and I love collecting many things that none of us have time to read about.
You can view my art in person at Museo de las Americas during First Fridays and meet me at various events. You can view my work online through Instagram and my website. I am currently working on hand stitched dolls for Dia de los Muertos.

Hand stitching, painting, stamping, silversmithing, electroplating, engraving, carving, molding, dyeing, soldering and beading are just some of the techniques I use.
How would you describe your work?
My work is a juxtaposition between my cultures/roots and the macabre.
About "Eztli" pictured above: This doll was a spur of the moment piece, I felt inspired to create him due to how I was feeling on that particular day. His colors are inspired by North American Indigenous and Mexican Indigenous art.
What is the purpose of your art? For example, do you create as a form of therapy, to convey a message, or simply to make something beautiful? I've always found beauty, pain, and all of the other emotions that we are capable of feeling when I see, hear or make art. My inspirations in creating art come from my cultures and my roots but it also comes from what I have experienced in my life. It is most certainly a cathartic process and often times serves as therapy when I am knee deep in a process of creating anything. Art is subjective, so I never guess or want to presume what people feel or think when they see my creations. I want people to find their own meaning through what I make, especially if they take the time to view and study it.
