Kathleen Keller

Beginning as a child, Kathleen Keller found her identity in drawing and painting. Once in college, she began in the fine arts department and pursued a major in the helping profession of Occupational Therapy. Based in the foundations of neurological sciences, psychology and the creative arts, Occupational Therapy uses meaningful activity to nurture the individual's improved physical function and sense of well-being. In this role she has subsequently worked with children and young adults with special needs and their families. In the midst of this, she pursued personal development of her artistic skills having contributed to local art exhibits and produced commissioned work. As an experienced artist and therapist who understands the healing power of art, she believes that creativity is a vibrant force which when used to express ourselves can actually improve our physical and mental health. In assisting others with their creative work, she states, "I love to watch people during the process of art making and sharing their art. It is such a joy as they find their artistic voice to clarify their sense of identity and gain personal confidence and a sense of empowerment." Kathleen Keller has taught with MCC's Con Ed department since 2015.
