Art Therapy
Artmaking in a therapeutic context can provide a channel to nonverbal
knowing that resides in the body and the psyche. When allowed to emerge in
a safe way, that knowledge can enable an individual to literally draw upon
inner strengths and make choices in new and healing ways.
MNATA Speaker's Bureau: I am available to speak about art therapy
with teen aged mothers.
I have a presentation called
"Nurturing Young Mothers Through Making Photo Quilts"

Discover your own language
through art
Also I offer group art making sessions with activities that do not require
previous art experience. Through a series of projects using many different
materials, we will explore our own unique ways of expression with color
and form. These can allow exploration and play with who we are now and who
we are creating ourselves to be.
Art can complement and deepen a group
retreat or theme-based meeting as it brings feelings and unverbalized
awareness into form. I can design and offer activities that help to
facilitate your group’s focus or intention.
