Certified therapeutic art life coach
My experience as a 25-year visual arts educator and mentoring adults and children has allowed me the ability to assist children and adults in not only revealing hidden talents and finding joy and peace in the artmaking process but also developing emotional intelligence, problem solving, and collaborative/team building skills while creating art.
Contact me for more information on customizing a therapeutic artmaking session/team building session that promotes creativity, relaxation, open-ended thinking, and problem solving.
