Meet Iris Kap

Wellness Therapist

I am an artist whose time at Moore College of Art and Design revealed healing properties of artmaking for myself and others. During my art therapy training, I discovered the remarkable dimension of art and its extraordinary capacity and power to alleviate and mitigate life’s challenges. So, my path in life became and is to guide others to experience the art-making process as a healing synergy where individual parts of yourself produce a combined effect greater than the sum of your separate parts. Let’s travel together purposefully toward your desired destination.
