Amber Sterling is an art historian, curator, and researcher examining the artist-engineer creative experiments conceived by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) during the 1960s. Her research also concentrates on intersections of sound and visual art, twentieth-century avant-gardes, and the aesthetics of materiality and ephemerality. She is currently pursuing an MA in Art History and an Advanced Certificate in Curatorial Studies at Hunter College, CUNY.

In 2024, she curated Beyond the Frame, on view at the Saddleback College Art Gallery from May 16 to May 23. She also served as the curatorial assistant for Virgil Ortiz: Revolution (2023), authoring the catalogue essay “Echoes of Resilience: Virgil Ortiz.” The exhibition highlighted Indigenous Futurism and the underrepresented histories of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt.

Drawing from her foundation in photography and academia, she sources and curates visual content for brands, photographers, directors, creative directors, and advertising agencies. She leverages expertise in digital and physical archives to identify distinctive visual materials that support each project’s creative vision. Her research and archival curation contributed to TASCHEN’s 75th Anniversary of Capitol Records, the official chronicle of the label’s history.

Previously, she served as the Creative Director of Photography for Capitol Music Group, where she oversaw 250 photo shoots while keeping the artist at the center of her work. She has over fifteen years of experience working across the arts and entertainment industry.
