Susan Boyes’s Summary

I returned to school for a Master's Degree in Art Therapy which I completed in 1996. Art therapy is the meeting of art and the psyche. I am privileged to bring art making to various populations in need of this connection. Art has always been healing for me and I treasure the opportunity to share art making with others.
