Featured Tranquilista:
I have been an artist from the time that I first picked up a crayon: I drew a horse, and that image still hangs in my parent's house reminding me of my passion from an early age. I was involved in art classes form that point on, majoring in art in high school and college. I learned all the "right" ways of creating art. And then, I went to grad school to study art therapy and was introduced to art journaling. The process allowed me to break all the rules I had learned and in turn opened up creativity in me I did not know existed. Although I have always been an artist, through art journaling, I have come to live an artistic life.
My blog artjournaling.blogspot.com chronicles my ongoing projects, including a recent project about turning 30 and a process I call "parallel art journaling" where my significant other and I explore themes together through art. I have presented on the topic of art journaling at universities and the National Art Therapy Conference, along with several other local venues. My blog and my work were
recently featured on Psychology Today’s Arts in Healing blog, in an article about art journaling as an art therapy tool. I conduct local workshops in St. Louis, where I live and work, and have curated art
journaling exhibitions. This spring I am excited to be one of the teachers in Dirty Footprint Studios online art journaling workshop 21 Secrets.

thank you so much for the opportunity to be heard by all your listeners! I had a wonderful experience and hope that it will inspire others!
Loved this podcast! As a "left-brainer" I'm trying to work on growing my own creativity and to use more creative techniques with my counseling clients. I recently suggested a client of mine look over Kelley's blog. Oodles of ideas after listening to this podcast.
