artist – seamstress – teacher

Amber Scheidler is an Apparel Design graduate from the University of Alabama. She worked as a Technical Designer for Abercrombie & Fitch women’s categories and taught 50+ creative classes in Ohio. Now she lives in Zionsville, Indiana, where she teaches and creates full-time.

Artsy ALPS comes from Amber’s initials: A.L.P.S. You can think of ALPS as her artist name. Her favorite mediums are watercolor, textiles, and upcycled materials.

Amber works great with tweens. She spent five years in youth ministry serving middle schoolers. Her laid-back teaching methods are fun and engaging for kids of all ages and adults who like to unleash their inner child!

Fun fact: Amber is a fourth generation artist! The L in ALPS comes from her maternal grandmother, Louise, who taught Amber how to watercolor paint at age six. Lou’s parents were a dressmaker and a painter. Amber’s mother taught high school art for many years.

Amber lives in a beautiful log home in Zionsville with her husband, Sam, and their dog, Moana. Her studio is in her basement and includes a fitting room and sitting area.
