Marissa Skinner

I have been influenced the most by art, theatre, music, dance, and literature for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have used all of these therapeutic outlets for my own healing. No matter what has been thrown my direction, I always use the arts to overcome various circumstances. I learned quickly that I had a passion for helping people and wanted to share the healing powers of art with others in order to help them in their own healing journeys. Among the different subject matters I experiment with, I am mostly intrigued by the purest of human emotion, expressed through symbolic movement or the lack thereof. Many of my pieces hold components of nature and tend to symbolically explore spirituality.

https://youtu.be/2NWUKyoWN98 I really loved the video you created that went a little more in depth about your artworks! I had a similar experience when entering the program of not really know what art therapy was until I got to residency ha! I love you and I know you will do great things as an art therapist.
