Macarena's illustration was recently featured in the Real Art Therapists of New York Coloring Book. Below is an excerpt from https://nycreativetherapists.com/real-art-therapists :
"Why is everyone coloring? Art therapists know that coloring relaxes overworked brains. It’s like meditating, but with a visual aid to help you stay focused and quiet your mind. This eclectic book brings together artwork from 50 professional art therapists in a collection that invites you to experience a moment of self awareness. The hand-drawn images are accompanied by interviews with the artists and a short “right now” assessment to learn more about yourself. Skeptics and coloring enthusiasts alike will be inspired by this uniquely useful book which gives us a peek inside the head of the therapist for a change!
Art therapy is a mental health profession focused on helping people of all ages harness the power of art to improve their well-being. This collaboration began as a way to explore the actual therapeutic impact of coloring, and how it is similar to art therapy, but also how it is different. Now it's evolved into a movement! Spread the word. #ArtTherapyIsReal."
