"I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process."
- Vincent van Gogh
Featuring Lacy Mucklow (MA, ATR-BC, LPAT, LCPAT) is a registered, board-certified, and licensed art therapist who has been practicing art therapy in the Washington, DC area since 1999. In this episode, we are visited by the godfathers and godmothers of sheer creativity and genius. We have Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, Sylvia Plath, and Edvard Munch. This episode seeks to answer big questions like "Is there a link between mental illness and creativity?" "Are all artists secretly depressed?", "Can you make great art without being sad?" and so much more. We try to find a tangible intersection between art and the psychology of the human mind through a free-verse conversation. Lacy also walks us through the fundamentals of being an art therapist and gives us an insider view of the exciting world of art therapy!
