Australian War Artist
Amber Martin
An Australian War Artist documenting the every day lives of Australian soldiers and the Australian Defence Force.
Now painting in oils, she has left behind her tins of boot polish and now paints in oils on canvas ...and sometimes on the very camouflage uniform material worn by members of the Australian Defence Force!
Testimonial from Former Commanding Officer of 2 Combat Engineer Regiment:
" The Regiment has been fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, securing peace in Timor Leste, providing disaster relief in Pakistan and supporting civil-military operations in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The Regiment has a long and proud history. We approached Amber to record our Soldiers on operations in order to contribute to our "esprit de corps".
Amber’s art work has been magnificent and is appreciated by all ranks. It has captured our expressions and moods on deployment. It has described our daily experiences of operating, patrolling, liaising, building and sustaining. It has reflected our courage, initiative and teamwork. Amber’s paintings represent our many achievements due to the sacrifice, professionalism and teamwork of our Soldiers.”
