Art Therapy Book - Finding Yourself Through Art

As an artist myself, I became interested in Art Therapy after volunteering for mental health and seeing how art could provide a unique opportunity for wellness and reflection, particularly in communities such as veteran centers where it may be hard for people to bring up mental pain in regular therapy settings. 

However, Art Therapy is not accessible for everyone, which became particularly apparent during the pandemic. I sought to design a resource to make Art Therapy more accessible and encourage more people to create art for their wellbeing in a particularly difficult time.

This led me to create Finding Yourself Through Art, a 42 page guided art journal which I shared digitally and through print copies. We were able to reach 67 schools, hospitals, mental health organizations, therapy practices, veteran associations, and more.
