Coming this Spring -
Vicarious Trauma Illustrated. What happens when the Moosewood Cookbook collides with The Body Hold the Score, while being watched over by What It Is by Lynda Barry? After 20 years as an art therapist, I have brought clinical theory together with a series of over 50 original process paintings to address the very common experience of burn out. Part fairy tale, part masterclass, I look at Vicarious Trauma through the lens of Psychoanalytic, Jungian, Feminist, Narrative, and Mindfulness theory. Full of easy to do exercises and written in my approachable style, you will get many ways to look at the work of being a therapist. I can not wait for you to see it. #vicarioustraumaillastrated |
Hand Lettering
I learned so much while making this book. I took a fantastic cartooning class at Hugo House, I got over my fear of hand lettering in a class taught by LettersbyShells and I watched an amazing Masterclass series with Margaret Atwood.

Wet on Wet Watercolor
I painted for hour and hours, for every image in the book there are five that got tossed. Wet on Wet watercolor is an incredibly freeing process. The image gets built up with several layers of paint, with texture being added with salt and places being wiped away with paper towels. Since it is process painting, it is completely free form, with no sketches and no right or wrong way to do it.

Daniel Smith Watercolor paint
With pigment this rich and varied, I would get lost moving the paint on the page.
