The Art of Dr. Barbara Bagan

artist, art therapist, educator, and consultant


Artist's Statement

I create art, practice art therapy, consult, and teach.

Expressionism informs my art; the depth psychology of C. G. Jung informs my therapy.

I am the Professor in Charge of Expressive Arts Therapy at Ottawa University in Phoenix, Arizona.

I consult with individuals, groups, and agencies. I share both my professional successes and mistakes.

I have been a nurse, a therapist, a teacher, and a university professor, but always an artist.

Making art provides the creative base for all my work. I celebrate in color the beauty of common subjects and ordinary scenes. I create in acrylics, watercolors, and mixed media.
