Drawing inspiration from Appalachian and outsider art traditions, Ober works across painting, drawing, and mixed media, incorporating vivid colours, layered textures, and symbolic imagery. His compositions often feature enigmatic figures and dreamlike landscapes that evoke a sense of mystery and storytelling.
