The Past Several Months

In September, I started the Graduate Art Therapy program at SVA. It has been a busy but wildly fulfilling few months. Over the next few days, I will post some images of my own responses to in-class or at-home directives (with the exception of the SVA client-therapist exhibition, absolutely no client artwork will appear on this page).

Summer Share

Some people retreat to the Hamptons, the Jersey Shore, or to Ocean City, MD for their summer getaway. Not me. This is my retreat: George and I are subletting a large studio together for 3 months this summer.
