my focus has shifted from photography and painting to crafting over the last four years. my etsy store, amberbrownmakesart, has been my constant source of creative output. additionally, I have been selling my felty creations in stores in Chicago, Philadelphia and Indianapolis. you can follow me on facebook and twitter, or email me to introduce yourself. i'm very interested in meeting like-minded local crafters and artists who are eager to get their art out of their bodies and into the world.

i'm thankful to have this life and remain hopeful for the future, which may or may not include the city of portland, oregon.
