WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!
I began creating this site subsequent to my retirement as a clinical therapist and art therapist in community mental health in June, 2009, with the intention of cataloguing my art work and growing collection of art works. Was this to become a “life review?” (Or documentation for my insurance company?)
Since then, I have become aware of the range of my experiences and how they might resonate with others; I am both an artist who is an art therapist and an art therapist who is also an artist.
I continue to work as an instructor in the Graduate Art Therapy Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, mentor and supervise post-graduate art therapists, and am a member of the Art Committee of the American Art Therapy Association.
I have been adding new pages of images and dialogue, including some spontaneous text, which has led to including a BLOG page.
You are invited to explore my pages, subscribe, and respond to my BLOG!
