Mr. Robin’s Hood Podcast, Episode 64 - Vision in Vivid Hue: A Convo with Amber Andersen

This episode opens with a hilarious badger-breeding scandal told by hosts Robin Hohweiler (Mr. Robin) and Mikel Mauree Robinson (Mikey-on-the-Mic) before settling into an in-depth interview with Woodward, Oklahoma artist Amber Andersen.

Amber shares her journey from childhood gardening and printmaking to discovering watercolor, coping with personal loss, and ultimately becoming a full-time artist and muralist. She discusses her experiences at Sunny Dayz Mural Festival, collaborative sculpture projects, and the challenges of balancing family and creative work among the many topics she covers.

The conversation highlights Amber’s traveling immersive installation "The Grand Unseen," the Paseo Arts Festival and OVAC THRIVE Grants that helped fund it, upcoming exhibitions, and how communities can host the project or contact her via her website, amberandersenart.com.
