Through a lifelong commitment to reflexively processing his life history and experience though art making, Don invites the viewer to consider how art as therapy can be a central practice of a life well lived. Those not familiar with this thoughtful founder of the art therapy department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago may also want to read one of the books he wrote, two with co-authors, reflecting his uniquely creative ideas about art and life.
