Treasurer - Kathy Morgan, MA

Hi! I am Kathy Morgan, serving as the MATA treasurer for the
next few years. Although I live in Belleville, IL, I serve as art therapist at STL ArtWorks in St. Louis. We are a jobs training program for the disadvantaged youth of St. Louis, and the program has included art therapy as something to: support emotions that surface in the art-making and to deal with anxiety, depression, and trauma that they might bring to “work.” Some fun facts about me are: I am a retired elementary teacher who specialized in
math; I graduated in December, 2017 from St. Mary-of-the-Woods in Terre Haute, IN, and I have three grown sons, and three grandchildren. Additionally, I would have to say my favorite intervention in art therapy is mandalas because they are so versatile and involve circles! Thank you for the opportunity to serve as treasurer.

Secretary - Katrina Boogerd, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
