A native Hoosier, Amber grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. She grew up in a Christian family in a supportive church community which nurtured her sincere belief in Jesus. After moving to Los Angeles in 2005 and earning a masters in production design, her faith deepened in the hard years that followed. God showed up in those “wilderness years” in tangible ways, showing her time and again that, while she had reached her limits alone and wasn’t enough—he always was. 

Her favorite time to seek the Lord is 5AM, when she regularly prays and studies the Bible, often with a cup of coffee or tea at her elbow. As an artist, she also connects to God through the beauty of his creation, hiking in Malibu, trekking up a mountain in Japan, wandering through the hills of Northern Ireland, or watching the sunset in South Africa. She’s practices Muay Thai (a martial art), loves studying history, and is passionate about reading and connecting with fellow bookworms. 

Amber lives in the NoHo Arts District and her favorite things about LA are the many opportunities here to learn new skills and gain new knowledge. She appreciates Los Angeles and Reality LA as great places to pursue the many aspects of the beauty of God.
