About
Amber R. Engfer
I'm a California based artist working with the alternative photographic process known as cyanotype. I was first introduced to cyanotype in college where I studied darkroom photography. I attended school at San Diego City College, Humboldt State Cal Poly, Aegean Center for the Arts in Paros Greece , as well as Cabrillo College where I focused on advancing my knowledge in a variety of photograph techniques. Now 20 years later and I still continue to include cyanotype in my artwork. I'm lucky to live in my hometown of Santa Cruz where I have access to a variety of plants and seaweeds that I incorporate in my art.
​
When I'm not engaged in the arts, I spend time with my husband and two beautiful girls. We love gardening, visiting with our animals and adventuring around our scenic forest and beach town.
