She views her work as an extension of her mind\, spirit\, and soul – fluctuating with the natural and organic patterns of life. Her process can be described by two actions: searching and building. She looks at her works in process as puzzles that don’t have defined pieces – images that come to life slowly through the amalgamation of fragments and displaced elements. It’s a meditative process\, where she can allow herself to be guided by her materials and trust in the final result. \n\nEmber currently lives in Dover\, New Hampshire\, and works at Kennedy Gallery and Custom Framing in Portsmouth as a full-time Picture Framer. She is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire\, where she received her BFA in Fine Arts and BA in Women’s and Gender Studies in 2024.
