Abstract
This paper explores the use of ecotherapy/eco-art therapy ideas in a community art therapy studio located in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. A literature review illustrates the marriage of ecotherapy and creative arts therapies. Furthermore, current perceptions on community art studios are provided as well as the concept of narrative storytelling as a research method. It is a case study on an art therapy intern who considers herself environmentally conscious. An artistic inquiry is provided which demonstrates a personal connection to the natural materials, in addition to defining a professional identity. The insights that surfaced are discussed with implications for the joining of arts and nature to promote mental health and to protect our communities and world.
