Art Therapy Accomplishments - 

I was thrilled to receive The Outstanding Creative Applied Practice Award from the American Art Therapy Association. Out of all the Art Therapists in the nation and beyond - quite a thrill! The award ceremony took place in Pittsburgh, PA this year. 

At our Ohio chapter of Art Therapy convention - BATA (Buckeye Art Therapy Association) - I was awarded the highest honor - Honorary Lifetime Member! I stepped down from the Board this year after 8 years of service so it was a bittersweet symposium. However, now I can stay involved as a lifetime member!

Also, in local art therapy news - our licenses have arrived! After years of fighting for licensure at the Ohio state level, we were successful in passing a bill last November and art therapists in our state are starting to apply and receive their licenses.
