Karen Elvin's expressive art works have been in juried shows through Western Pennsylvania and in the Washington D.C. area as well as a Lilly co-sponsored travel exhibit of art and healing. A television interview was held in the northeastern Ohio viewing area about her book and personal art via a show titled: Creative Living. An art exhibit was featured in Clearfield , PA about a "Creative Senior." While Karen's main career was in professional counseling and family therapy, her main passion is encouraging the art process for those persons in nursing homes or community health programs. In witnessing the transformation of a person of health challenge as stroke, mental illness, cancer or autism, Karen has found this most rewarding. Karen is available for workshops, retreats or sharing her stories and art.
