🎓✨ Graduation season is upon us, and with it comes major transitions, which can bring up a wide range of emotions. Art Therapy can help. 🎨

Art therapists use transitional objects to support people experiencing transitions. These are meaningful, tangible art pieces that honor an experience, preserve important memories, and can be physically carried with someone into their next chapter.

What would your transitional object look like? 🎨💙

Today’s featured faculty artist is Dr. Jordan Gonzalez, PhD, LMFT, ATR-BC.

When reflecting on the concept of “Belonging in Times of Chaos,” Dr. Gonzalez created a mixed media collage within a lifelong exploration of identity and self-reflection.

Drawing from personal and collective history, the work weaves together moments both celebrated and difficult — from Ellis Island and post-war boom to Iwo Jima, opioids, and everyday life like pool parties and starter homes.

Through this layered storytelling, the piece captures the complex, multifaceted experience of being American. ✨

Today on featured adjunct faculty artist we see the work of Dr. Erin Partridge, PhD, ATR-BC.

Dr. Partridge is an artist, art therapist, and researcher whose creative process moves between intuitive and methodical. She draws inspiration from hours spent making and talking about art with older adults, finding new multi-layered ways to see the world.

Her work explores non-verbal narratives in found objects and everyday ephemera, capturing the stories and textures of life through art. ✨

Meet PhD student Wei Wu 🎨 Wei is a Doctor of Philosophy in Art Therapy student in our Art Therapy Psychology program. She was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan and moved to New York City in 2018 for graduate school. Since then, she has been living between NYC and Taipei.

Wei’s artistic practice is deeply influenced by street art. She often works with colored pencils, acrylic paint, acrylic markers, and spray paint, and enjoys incorporating mixed media like chains, LEGO pieces, and other unconventional materials into her work.

Wei always hoped to grow in an artistic direction, since art has been deeply healing in her life. She started studying nursing and during patient care training she discovered art therapy and realized that combining art with helping others was what she truly wanted to pursue. She says art therapy remains the career she feels most passionate about!

As an international and out of stat student, Wei appreciates the supportive and grounded culture of the DUC program. She is especially grateful to Dr. Lisa Hinz for her mentorship and encouragement in the PhD process.

About her experience so far at Dominican, Wei shares, “I have formed meaningful friendships within my PhD cohort, and the broader art therapy program feels like a close-knit family. I feel fortunate to be part of this community!” 💛

Today’s featured faculty artist: Stacey Kamp, PhD Candidate, LMFT, ATR-BC 👩‍🎨✨

Stacey is a licensed psychotherapist, board-certified art therapist, and adjunct professor. She brings the same mindful, restorative approach she uses personally into her clinical practice and her art 🖌️💛.

Her paintings, collected nationally and internationally 🌎, reflect both her aesthetic vision and her commitment to art as a vehicle for connection and meaning 💭❤️.

Originally inspired by the natural world 🌿, Stacey’s work now focuses on how light moves across surfaces, shaping mood, perception, and emotion 💡.

Influenced by Impressionism and German Romanticism 🎨, she explores how illumination and shadow reveal depth, clarity, and vulnerability 🌅✨.

What feelings or memories come up for you when you see light and shadow in art? 🤔💫
