This is about the presence of cancer in my own family. In art therapy, everything we paint or sculpt or draw is seen as a reflection of who we are. I do not paint to exhibit, but rather because I have something to say that requires non-verbal means of expression.
Art is a healing process.
I work with children, adolescents, and families to help them find this healing process when words cannot be shared. Through this approach, a deeper level of communication is possible. See the Art Therapy program page for more information. 1996, Gussie Klorer.
