Introduction to the Blog

I am a 36 year old bipolar woman who has found that art is an essential part of my mental heath program. I have found that few inpatient or outpatient programs at hospitals offer competent art therapy programs and patients need to seek out their own outlets for creative expression that will help them theraputically. My own personnal art therapy program has included photography, photoshop and watercolor painting. I often combine two or all of these artforms. I have a degree in World Arts from UCLA and have taken many, many art classes at the community level. I'm trying to get into a local Southern California Community College Watercolor class for the Spring Semester becasue I like to work with groups of people and I like instruction.
