Letter to the Explorer

Hi, I'm Amber; some people call me Maven.

As an artist, explorer, and storyteller, I don't just create worlds; I witness them unfold. I don't see a separation between artistic forms, so I tell stories through full-sensory experiences that create an environment where I can invite people into my interpretation of the world. Through art, story, symbolism, and massage therapy, I explore the different ways of feeling human, which I call soul frequency.

For over a decade, massage therapy has taught me how to listen to the human body not only through tissue and movement, but through the nervous system, emotion, sensation, safety, and response. I’m realizing that this embodied awareness has become inseparable from how I create. Whether I’m working through touch, illustration, animation, music, storytelling, or live performance, the medium may change, but the relationship remains the same: I am using different forms of expression to communicate with and create an experience for another human being. Massage didn’t exist separately from my development as an artist; it helped teach me how to become the artist I am.
