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.
