Amber Stinson

My creative energy goes towards taking photos of a wide array of subjects. Anything that I find visually beautiful, interesting, captivating or moving I enjoy capturing in a photo. As a result, my photographic content ranges anywhere from landscape to portrait to abstract. I am particularly drawn to minimal scenes and fully stand behind the principle that less is more. My ultimate goal is to capture essence, evoke emotion, and maintain full presence and appreciation of each unique moment.

Opening Reception – Posie Kalin & Emily Hawkins

Stop by Saranac Art Projects for the opening reception on March 5 with new work by Posie Kalin & Emily Hawkins! Posie Kalin – Mirror Mind: A space where images and materials converge and dissipate, revealing a kind of physical fragility that engages viewers with a sense of emotional transformation through video, sculpture, and archival prints. Emily Hawkins – Kitchen Things: Arising in response to the increased domestic pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kitchen Things explores the complicated set of roles the artist plays in managing and balancing the life of her household during quarantine, including mother, cook, and teacher, among other roles. An honest look at the rigors and joys of domestic and emotional labor, the series questions both the ability and the responsibility to “do it all” and embraces the importance of finding clarity and space.
