Amber Share is a graphic designer and illustrator who became widely known for her Subpar Parks project. She started posting watercolor paintings of national parks alongside their most scathing one-star reviews on Instagram, and the concept quickly picked up a large following. The mix of beautiful artwork and absurd complaints struck a chord with outdoor enthusiasts and humor fans alike.
Her first book, Subpar Parks, was published in 2021 and collected the best of these pairings into print. A postcard set followed in 2022, and Subpar Planet expanded the idea to cover international destinations in 2024. Share lives in the mountains of western North Carolina and continues to create art that pokes fun at the way people interact with nature.
