KERITH GLASS, EdD
For the past thirty years, I have worked in the mental health field, first as an art therapist and then as a licensed educational psychologist. I noted through my own experiences with paint that art served as a therapy for me and a place to express my thoughts and feelings. For the past sixteen years, I have been creating mixed media/collage paintings. I layer paint and paper to create color and design combinations that make it easier to express myself than solely using painting. This current work is of a tree in my yard and I liked the freedom I had mixing in different pieces of tissue paper to create what I saw.
The Giving Tree
(Acrylic, paper on Canvas, 20” High x 20” Wide)
I use many subjects from nature as my inspiration for mixed media paintings that are layered with tissue paper and acrylic paint. Trees for my clients and I serve as a subject of calm and peace.
