Artist Trading Cards
It’s been a long time since I updated, and instead of recapping with lengthy paragraphs, I will highlight the past few months with mostly imagery and a few new posts.
As mentioned previously, I participated in the first Art Therapy Alliance Artist Trading Card (ATC) swap organized by Gretchen Miller, but I never posted the cards I received. The following are the received cards from the first swap!

I enjoyed receiving handmade art so much I decided to participate in the Second Art Therapy Alliance Swap organized by Melanie Glassey. The theme was Collage Unleashed and I actually made two sets of cards, because I wasn’t satisfied with the first set (too messy/busy/sticky/etc.). I ended up creating four ‘simplified’ collage images that even incorporated glitter (a material I usually steer away from).
Created with magazines, paint, Sharpie, glue, & glitter on bristol board
The second swap ended recently, and I received four lovely artist trading cards this past week from all over the U.S.A. Funny enough, I received a card from my former art therapy classmate at Pratt, Lindsey Kazmark. Now that I’m gathering more ATCs, I need to figure out how to display them. I’m anticipating participation in future artist trading events via Art Therapy Alliance / International Art Therapy Organization / Art Therapy Without Borders.
