“Health and wellbeing are increasingly understood as tied up with, and not separate from, learning, creativity, and connectedness”
Desmarais, S., Bedford, L. and Chatterjee, H.J. (2018)
Hi! My name is Jenna and I have studied whether and in what ways museum programming, specifically mindfulness and/or art therapy programs, cultivate emotional wellbeing. It was while conducting this research for my Master’s thesis that I solidified one of my core philosophies and passions ~ art, creativity, wellness as experiences that are interconnected.
In other words, I am an intuitive artist, museum educator, interdisciplinary scholar, and yoga student/guide and while I can separate them into their own buckets, what I aim to do is combine them all.
