Art Programs
As an art therapist with the American Association of Art Therapists, I understand the positive impact of art making and its ability to assist with processing the world around us.
The thesis research I conducted as part of my Master of Arts program, focused on how making art impacts learning, specifically the connection between art and its ability to improving reading comprehension and literacy levels.
I currently lead art therapy groups at BrightQuest San Diego while offering individual art counseling sessions to children experiencing parent loss at an hourly rate of $75.00.
In my current role as state delegate for AATA,
I develop workshops and art therapy programs for schools, museums and community events.
My son started regular art sessions after losing his mom to pancreatic cancer. Today he is a social, positive and optimistic teenager with little indication of the trauma he’s experienced. I credit much of his resilience to his work with Andrea and the
art programs she leads. - C. Cole
