As a counselor, art therapist, and artist, I value the power of creativity to parallel life changes and encourage curiosity. In solitude, we find some of the questions seeking to live out the answers on a journey of creativity.  

Creative expression and exploration are an informative endeavor towards self-growth. Finding inspiration in new materials and modalities can create the opportunity to be curious, resilient and empowered.  

Purchase wholesale materials at an additional cost of $30 or provide your own art materials.

Person-Picking-an-Apple-from-a-Tree (PPAT), a classic art therapy task, allows the artist to problem solve and identify personal strengths.
