About Amber
Amber Walker was born and raised in the State of Maine. She works as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Private Practice and the Army National Guard. She specializes in trauma treatment. Her art journaling has coincided with her twenty year career in social work, the love of art becoming a therapeutic creative outlet and passion. She returned to college enrolling in art courses following her time on active duty in the US Air Force. She has published artwork in several Stampington & Company’s nation-wide magazines from 2012 to 2019, published in Studio Visit in 2018, and art journal pages shown throughout the State of Maine art galleries. In her journals, the words, paint, and ink spill across the pages with no conscious plan or desired outcome, nothing off limits. The work is intuitive and often incorporates themes of women and the pursuit of freedom.
Amber recently co-authored a visual workbook, The Story of Tat Nook & You, for young adult trauma survivors. The book was created for trauma survivors to know they are not alone, there is hope, and provide tools and resources to help guide them along the path of healing.

Listener shout out of the week!
“I just listened to the podcast with Karen Donaldson… and let me just say, that was honestly amazing. It is what I needed to hear, truly. I honestly teared up a little bit because it really spoke to me and I felt it. I’m learning a lot about myself and my future right now, and the whole Artist Incubator program is definitely something that is contributing to that.”
