New Voice, Same Vision
Welcoming Brooke Christensen
I’m thrilled to share that the International Museotherapy Initiative is growing!
Starting this month, we’ll be joined by a new writer, Brooke Christensen, whose experience and perspective will deepen the conversations we’re having here.
Brooke is an Art Therapy graduate student at PennWest University with a passion for museum-based therapy work. She brings both practical insight and creative vision, and I know you’ll appreciate her thoughtful voice as much as I do.
Together, we’re continuing to build a global community exploring the intersections of art, healing, and the museum public space. You can look forward to new features, long-form, research posts, and creative explorations - now with even more diversity of perspective.
In addition to her graduate work, Brooke has been awarded both the Anita Mester Dallas Art Therapy Scholarship and the Folds of Honor Scholarship in recognition of her dedication to advancing the field of art therapy. She will present on innovative art therapy techniques at the national level this fall. She has also contributed to legislative efforts for Texas art therapy license protections and continues to explore the intersection of creativity, healing, and personal narrative, with a particular interest in the transformative potential of museum-based experiences. Outside of her studies, Brooke is a mom to two energetic boys, Owen (5) and Adam (3), and wife to her high school sweetheart, Ben.
Please join me in welcoming Brooke to the Initiative!
With care,
Minette
From Brooke:
I’m so excited to join this community and share in the conversation about how museums can be spaces of connection and healing. Between my work in art therapy, my love of research and writing, and life as a mom of two, I’m eager to explore and create alongside you all.
