Zachary Taylorart therapistAboutI'm an art therapist at Brinkvale Psychiatric and a true believer in the power of art to heal. Something I love about art therapy is its ability to expand the boundaries of what we think of as art. In my short time here, I’ve found that anything creative that touches someone can play a part in their healing, and one of the best parts of the job is finding what moves each individual I talk to and helping them understand why they feel the way they do about it. VitalsAge / Twenty Five InterestsI love visual art in all its forms: oil paints, sketch, sculpture, watercolors, etc. I have a deep love for "primitive art," artwork created by intuitively creative people with no formal training. Big DC Comics fan; wish they released a Green Lantern/Flash team-up book every month. Bernie Wrightson is a comic art GOD. (The detail!) I also have a deep admiration for pop artists, particularly traditional movie poster artists (Photoshop is sooo 21st century). MoviesJames Bond pictures, Star Trek (TNG), Star Wars (IV-VI), Dark City, The Matrix 1 and 2 (Revolutions was a whole lotta noise and not much else), and The Lord of the Rings. Big Hitchcock fan. Not much for horror flicks. MusicMe likey the whimsy: TMBG, Moxy Fruvous, Jonathan Coulton. U2, The Devlins, and The Commitments soundtrack. Big haired bands of the 1980s: Def Leppard, Scorpion, Foreigner, etc. Linkages// patient art gallery at brinkvale // support group forums for brinkvale ex-patients // my geek goddess girlfriend's blog ;-) // my facebook profile |
