Valeria Brown

I was born gifted in art, and in one form or another art has been integral to my life. Studio artist, participant in shows, art teacher on every level, and later a registered art therapist in Michigan. Realizing art is a projective of one's self, emotions expressed from the unconscious, and joy and grief in the awareness of the world around us - I used artworks of patients in a major psychiatric hospital.  Art psychotherapy proved we are what we draw. Understanding this afforded healing for many. My own studio work conveys joy, energy, and a delight in color as I grow closer and closer to the power and mystery of my Abiquiu world.
