About the Creator
BA (Beth Ann) Short - they/them Art therapist, fine artist, author and educator. I identify as a mixed race, gender queer/nonbinary person. I also experience three unseen disabilities. I grew up around the Great Lakes region, living in both Michigan and Ontario throughout my youth. I am committed to provide therapy and supervision that affirms all the social locations of those whom I serve. I am a strong lover of art history, especially art that traces and tells stories relating to the journeys of humankind. My goal in the work I do is to support individuals honoring their creative process, personal strengths, and intersections while providing tangible opportunities for healing and growth in any facet of life. I also believe in the importance of acknowledging, questioning, and creatively dismantling historical systemic power structures that have been in place and have unfairly disadvantaged individuals.
