B. 1997
Amber Hart is an artist based in Covington, Louisiana. Her work focuses on the collapse between fantastical recollections of intergenerational acts of service to survive and real-world rupture by using color to blur the line between reality and distorted memory. She earned her BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Drawing & Painting and a minor in Art History from the University of North Texas in 2020. Hart earned her MFA in Painting at the Louisiana State University in 2025. Her work has been shown at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Baton Rouge Gallery, LeMieux Gallery, and Giant Runt Gallery, among others.
