Below, I’ve featured three different female artists and art facilitators who make a living in the realm of creative facilitation and personal exploration through art.

Coeleen Kiebert
Coeleen Kiebert is an American sculptor renowned for her work in ceramics and bronze, with exhibitions across museums and galleries nationwide. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Art Education from the University of Minnesota and a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her academic pursuits reflect a deep interest in the psychology of the creative process and the influence of Asian philosophy on Western art.
Coeleen's "Art and Spirit" process is a structured approach designed to help individuals access and define their creative vocabulary, personal imagery, and artistic style. The process typically involves several key steps:
Collage Creation: Participants begin by assembling a collage from found images and words, allowing intuitive selection to guide them. This collage serves as a visual representation of their subconscious mind.
Mapping: The collage is analyzed using a conceptual grid that helps interpret the placement and significance of images, linking them to various aspects of the psyche, such as unconscious desires, fears, and aspirations.
Clay Sculpting: Based on insights from the collage, participants create clay sculptures embodying selected images, facilitating a tangible connection to their inner experiences.
Doodling: Engaging in free-form doodling allows individuals to explore their personal mark-making style, further uncovering elements of their unique creative expression.
Three-Dimensional Doodling: This involves creating abstract clay forms with eyes closed, encouraging a direct manifestation of subconscious imagery into physical form.
