Sabra Kyong Embury is an American artist & writer living in Brooklyn, New York.

As a visual artist, her collages are hand-assembled using LIFE magazines from the 1960s.

“Sabra Embury’s meticulously composed collages speak in a language of dreams. At times narrative and serene, at others, raucous and unsettling, they follow their own internal logic, the placement of people and things in domestic and celestial situations seeming both unexpected and inevitable.” —Mary-Kim Arnold, Tupelo Quarterly

As a writer & lit critic, her fiction, interviews & essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Believer, Brooklyn Magazine & other places.
