Here in my native inland sea
From pain and sickness would I flee
And from its shores and island bright
Gather a store of sweet delight.
Lone island of the saltless sea!
How wide, how sweet, how fresh and free
How all transporting—is the view
Of rocks and skies and waters blue
Uniting, as a song’s sweet strains
To tell, here nature only reigns.
Ah, nature! here forever sway
Far from the haunts of men away
For here, there are no sordid fears,
No crimes, no misery, no tears
No pride of wealth; the heart to fill,
No laws to treat my people ill.

~ Jane Johnson Schoolcraft, from Castle Island, Lake Superior

Amber’s artworks are an intimate, visual invitation into the often elusive and fantastical sense of belonging we so often yearn for. As you stand in front of one of her drawings, she welcomes you to connect with her deep feeling for sense of place, home and shelter. All of her works in some fashion capture elements of the beautiful Midwest Region – the magical colors, flora and fauna that she's immersed in on her hikes and explorations.
