in a family that valued art and music, and learned from an early age that creativity and self-expression are keys to a fulfilling life.
After graduating from Millburn High School
I went on get my undergraduate degree in Art Education and Ceramics from Kean University, and my Master's Degree in Art Therapy from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. I have lived in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Boston, England, Rhode Island, Philadelphia, San Diego and have settled in Prescott, Arizona. In November of 2012, my partner Bill and I got married, and we love living and working in our spacious surroundings.
For many years I had a pottery production studio, where I made slab built, stamped pieces.
Although I no longer have this pottery business, I continue to work in clay and mosaics, and lead workshops in tile making and mosaics, as well as collage, SoulCollage®, Mosaics 101, Shrines, Spirit Wands, Collage Gone Wild and more.
I am a Board Certified, Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC).
I have worked in residential recovery programs and sober living homes, with children facing challenges, and in private practice, using the arts to help people find their visual, creative voices. I teach and mentor students in the Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology program at Prescott College, and offer creative workshops through Yavapai College's Community Education program. As a SoulCollage® Facilitator, I lead monthly workshops in this wonderful collage technique, which adds to my belief that art has amazing healing powers. As a SoulCollage® Facilitator Trainer, I assist others in taking this amazing process out into their communities. And now, as Dean of the SoulCollage® Institute, I help bring expanded teachings online by finding excellent instructors in a variety of related fields.
About SoulCollage®
SoulCollage® is an intuitive, creative process of creating a deck of collaged cards, with each card referring to a part of your SELF.
It was developed by Seena Frost, a marital and family therapist in Watsonville, CA, who combined her passions for spirituality, psychology, and creativity. By identifying and accepting all the parts that make up your personality, your talents, your strengths, weaknesses, guides, network . . . you develop a greater understanding and appreciation of how you are one person with many parts; one community within our country; one world among many solar systems etc. Your deck of cards is your unique reflection of yourself in the world, to be used for meditation and guidance. Plus it is a lot of fun to spend time creating these cards!
I offer workshops which introduce participants to this wonderful process
both at my studio in Prescott and in different locations such as Ghost Ranch in New Mexico and the Algarve, Portugal.
As you delve deeper into your SoulCollage® practice, perhaps you feel ready to take this process out into your world.
I offer two or three SoulCollage® Facilitator Trainings each year
which will give you the ability to lead SoulCollage® workshops and groups within your community.
If you are interested in self-discovery along with using the arts as a healing process
then this training could be for you! Check out my short video about the Training outside Philadelphia in June, 2011 below!

SoulCollage Workshops
Immerse yourself for a few hours in the soul-satisfying process of SoulCollage® where you will create a personal deck of collaged cards. Using your intuition, choose from a unique collection of images, then using scissors and glue, create collage cards that reflect your influences, your personality, your guides. You will also get a taste of how you can consult your cards for self-exploration and understanding by doing readings alone or in small groups. This workshop is perfect for beginners and for those who have started their own SoulCollage journey. The group atmosphere is supportive and encouraging. No artistic skill or experience is necessary.
