Meet Amber Criste Pyke AKA Mistress Of Solace - SplashHall Poetry Poet

Meet Amber Criste Pyke aka MistressOfSolace. 24 years old. Born in Syracuse, NY and is currently living with her boyfriend, sorry guys, in Upstate, NY.

Amber says her main goal in life is to make a living selling her art. She paints with acrylics, chalking pastels, and draw. Amber has been writing poetry since she was 15. In July she will be at the cherry festival in the finger lakes region (wine country) selling some works of art. Amber says, "I am self taught when it comes to fine arts."

Amber says, "I play the guitar, and am learning more from my boyfriend everyday who is a musician in two bands. I have a twin sister and am very close with her and my nephew. I have no children. I am currently enrolled in a community college in the Humanities program. I take random classes in the liberal arts and spend alot of time in the library.

I just recently had two pastel paintings published in their literary magazine Parnassus. if nothing takes off with my art I plan to enroll in Purchase or Pratt Institute. I love mythology, history, and philosophy, and astronomy.

Reading and learning are my favorite things in life. I am a traveler at heart and am saving up to move to Europe for at least a year. I love to sing and listen to music as I write or paint."

Quote: In every religion there is faith, and that is what God sees. No church or temple opens gods ears, for God can hear a prayer from anywhere. No mans hand could write a human characteristic into the holy spirit, so abolish the thought of fearing God, he is only capable of love.
