Amber Adams Niven, Artist & Writer

Amber Adams Niven grew up in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, where she developed a deep love for nature and hiking at an early age. At twenty-six, she backpacked over 1,400 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Virginia with her family. Amber’s journey on the AT resulted in a move to western North Carolina, a few years of soul-seeking, and a venture in creative entrepreneurship. Amber is a mother, certified yoga teacher and a lifelong journal keeper.

Amber and Joshua live in Madison County, North Carolina with their two children River Axel and Indie Oaks. They can often be spotted in Hot Springs, having a beer at Big Pillow Brewing or eating dinner at the Tavern.
