“My work in ‘Connecting’ explores human relationships,” Young Meier said. “Our relationships with ourselves, one another, with spirituality and with nature. Much of the pain I witness in the human experience is linked to the lack of connection with one of these things.”

About Molly Young Meier

Molly Young Meier is an art therapist and a licensed mental health counselor, and her paintings in “Connecting” are in response to that work.

“I am exploring strength, growth, relationships, and the energy exchanged between people, whether personally or what I have witnessed,” Young Meier said. “Making art helps me remained balanced.”

A native of Central Illinois, Molly Young Meier was an Americorps volunteer in college, and has lived for a time in Colorado and New Mexico. “My time out west and my spiritual beliefs heavily influence my work,” Young Meier said. “I knew from a young age that I would pursue a career in Art Therapy. Art Therapy met my need to serve others and incorporated the healing benefits of art, a perfect union for me.”
