The annual event “MIRRORS OF THE MIND 7: The PSYCHOTHERAPIST AS
ARTIST” is set to be hosted by SANTA MONICA ART STUDIOS THIS YEAR.
The event was founded by colleagues Pamela J. McCrory, PhD,
and Terry Marks Tarlow, PhD, and is sponsored by the Community
Outreach Committee (COC) of the Los Angeles County Psychological
Association (LACPA). The exhibition continues to celebrate the
intersection of psychology, arts and culture, and is open to both
doctors, therapists and students working within
the psychology community. LACPA’s mission is to foster a culture
of inclusiveness and respect for diversity in the organization
and its community outreach efforts. MIRRORS OF THE MIND DOES JUST
THAT AND WILL INCLUDE ALL ART FORMS
“The quality of the art remains high, and we continue to be
happy to launch our ARTISTS OUT INTO THE WORLD,” said
Marks-Tarlow, co-founder and curator, has been participating as an
ARTIST IN THE EVENT SINCE INCEPTION. http://www.markstarlow.com

Pamela McCrory, co-founder and co-curator, said it has been an honor
to watch the event evolve through the years. “My own creativity has
grown, and making art is now a part of my week, a sanctuary for
well-being, play and personal growth.” http://pamelamccroryphd.com/

The group exhibition will feature a variety of ARTISTS SUCH AS the
work of painter Kristen Wright MFT, who has been painting since she
was five years old. She currently works in oil, acrylic, and water
color. @artbykristendara [/@artbykristendara]
Photographer Pamela Kirst, PhD, will feature a work called Infinite
Folds, which is the final image in a series of photographs called The
Fungi Family. “My fascination with them came about because they just
appeared one day in my psychology office (found sharing the pot of one
of her plants) to my consternation and then amazement…and refused to
leave.” @winstonpfk
Robin Walker LMFT, is another painter included in the show. “I
make stories with my paintings - they have a strong sense of
narrative. He is currently working on a series called “Strongmen”
featuring men lifting weights, wearing power suits / military
uniforms. “I’m attracted to this image because, psychologically,
they just want to be liked, but it’s hard for men to admit to
this,” said Walker. https://www.robinwalkerstudio.com/

Claire Vines, PsyD has participated each year since “MIRRORS OF THE
MIND,” was first created. She said she found it both honoring and
validating. She added “Creating art is part of my life journey.”
