Daniel Embree talks about his series, These Things of Nature, in 2015.
Daniel Embree is an artist and nonprofit executive in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. He is the Executive Director of Kennett Collaborative, the nonprofit organization that helps make beautiful Kennett Square thrive through placemaking, events, and community development initiatives.
Formerly, Embree served as a program director at the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the nonprofit organization that presents the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. He worked with various program partners to provide recognition and support for creative teens. He also served previously as the president of the Monotype Guild of New England, a national nonprofit that promotes interest in unique prints.
As an artist and writer, his work explores personal and community narratives, often growing out of his research on topics such as sexual orientation, religious identity, and, more recently, 19th Century American folk magic.
He has exhibited work in various venues across the United States, including the Fitchburg Art Museum and Fourth Wall Project in Massachusetts. He has also shown work internationally in Strasbourg, France; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; and Montréal, Canada. He has been a resident at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT and the Full Tilt Print Studio in Hyde Park, MA.
Embree graduated with a BFA in studio art from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and a MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts.
