Artist's work explores transformation

Daniel Embree's monotypes tell a story of transformation. Six years ago, he was a student at Brigham Young University in Utah, a lifelong Mormon desperate to rid himself of his attraction to other men. Now the artist is living in West Newton with his husband, Michael Barber, who also graduated from BYU. Four of Embree's monotypes were chosen for a juried show , ‘‘It Gets Better/Make It Better,’’ at Arlington’s 13FOREST gallery. Embree speaking next to his exhibit at 13FOREST.
