The inspiration behind “Waves of Amber” springs from the golden allure of California, where the sun kisses the earth with its amber rays. This piece translates that warmth and endless expanse into a visual experience, capturing the essence of a place where the natural world bathes everything in a golden glow.   

The painting was created on canvas with palette knives, plaster and alcohol inks. It is in a 21”x25” vintage frame and valued at $400.  Ree believes she can help make a positive difference to local non-profit organizations through her art. She donated “Waves of Amber” to Amador Arts Night Out fundraiser to promote arts in Amador County.  This work was recently exhibited as a finalist in the Golden State 2025 National competition held in April 2025. 

Creating "Waves of Amber" was a unique process, where every layer added with alcohol ink on canvas became a dance between control and spontaneity. The ink's unpredictability mirrors nature itself—a reminder that beauty often lies in the unexpected.
