Love Letters to Nature: Healing through Nature Photography and Abstract Paintings

Mary Beth Ely, a retired clinical psychologist, is a former faculty member and administrator at Chatham University, where she trained new counselors and psychologists. Her instruction focused on helping health care professionals understand the negative impacts of environmental degradation on human health and well-being and the positive effects of time spent in nature. Mary Beth’s presentation will highlight her own healing, artistic journey through nature photography, macro photography, and abstract painting while emphasizing how we can all make time for using art as therapy.
