I had the privilege of designing and painting a large-scale mural across three walls in the new courtyard space of Ceratonia, a Healing Gardens & Herbal Retreat in Portugal. Collaborating closely with founder and herbalist Daisy Mae, we worked collaboratively and sought to reimagine the area while incorporating key elements that she wished to highlight within the artwork.

The mural features two illustrative walls adorned with specific plants and symbolic motifs, drawing inspiration from the natural surroundings of the retreat. The third wall features one of my signature geometric style designs which created a beautiful juxtaposition to the illustrative pieces.

The primary objective was to create a calm and welcoming environment for Daisy as she conducts consultations with her patients. This mural not only enhances the aesthetic of Ceratonia but also serves as a serene backdrop for meaningful connections and healing experiences.

“Amber's creativity is fabulous vibrant and this piece brings joy to everyone who sees it! I am so happy to have some of her artwork on a wall that very much needed some love. After some years of wear and tear in the area, Amber's mural still shines out vivid and full of colour. Really shows the excellent quality that goes into her work. Excited to share that we are commissioning Amber for a bigger mural in one of our teaching spaces. Amber has the ability to listen to the client and create something that is unique and exactly what is wanted.”
