travellers & scholars
by gl. at 11:59 pm
i got a chance to meet kelly roberge today, an art therapy student from arizona who included scarlet star studios in a national survey of expressive arts studios earlier this year! alas, she was visiting portland during my self-imposed creative hiatus, so though i didn't have a general event she could attend, she came over to be introduced to the studio & collage. i finally got to see her thesis, which includes a very kind acknowledgement of me (and which i hope she puts online soon). :)
kelly hopes to create her own expressive arts studio in arizona and then create an international expressive arts confederate where we work together instead of competing in order to help contribute to a cultural understanding of what we do and a desire for our support. go, kelly, go!

Kelly's work sounds interesting and I will definitely check out your blog and studio work.
Have you all heard about the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (http://www.ieata.org) - it's a professional organization of expressive artists, expressive arts educator/consultants and expressive arts therapists.
They recently had a wonderful conference in Boone, NC - you can see a small bit about it on my blog http://expressivetherapy.blogspot.com
Check it out! Karen

thanks, karen! yep, kelley knows about that organization. i think she wants to create an alliance of studios, rather than individuals, but i'm not otherwise sure of the details of her dreams. we didn't have nearly enough time to talk to each other!
the good news is a big chunk of her thesis is now online: http://artspastudio.com/thesis%20contents.html
