Ember Poelking

Hello! My name is Ember, and I am a sophomore in the Creative Arts program at Cuyahoga Community College. I have embodied the artist label for as long as I can recall, and it has been a lifelong dream of mine to pursue a creative career. This portfolio dives into my undergrad work, and each piece focuses on the healing power art can provide. After receiving my Associate of Arts and Art Therapy Facilitator Certificate, I plan to transfer to Ursuline College to study Art Therapy.

I have personally experienced the multi-faceted power of healing through art, and I am deeply passionate about sharing this beautiful tool with those in need. I believe in embracing the beauty of "imperfect" artwork, using art to transcend verbal communication barriers, and unlocking the unconscious within a healing environment. My goal is to educate, assist, and create with our youth to foster a more loving, creative society. Creativity is powerful and within us all, and I plan to harness it for healing through Art Therapy.
