I am an art therapist and I use my art to help me process and contain emotional trauma from my sessions. I create to heal and love.

I love all mediums but my favorite is oil painting. I enjoy working in oil and capturing my emotions and experiences in my work. Sometimes it is realistic sometimes abstract it is all about trusting the process.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in life. Some of my work is in response to my therapeutic work and some observations of life. Each piece is a reflection of my soul.
What would you do with $25,000?This money would be used in my art studio. My dream is to open my own open studio art therapy center in my community here in southern Indiana. Art is healing and I use art to help my clients contain, process and cope with trauma.
