Reading Diets
One of the wonderful things about being in an MFA program is getting assigned books one would otherwise never read.

"Shadow Artists"
Recently, I have wondered why I have found so many “closeted” artists among the MA in Psychology students at Goddard. Perhaps artists who are students of psychology are intuitively drawn to a field that acknowledges and embraces the power of symbols and metaphor, creative expression, and the unique gifts and talents of each individual. Julia… Continue reading "Shadow Artists"
