Art therapy didn’t start in textbooks.
This Women’s History Month, we’re honoring Georgette Seabrooke Powell. An artist, educator, and Art Therapy pioneer who helped bring creative expression into mental health spaces.
Best known for her work during the Harlem Renaissance, Seabrooke Powell later used art in therapeutic settings, demonstrating how creativity can support emotional expression, connection, and healing.
Her legacy reminds us that art has long been part of mental health care. The field of art therapy continues to grow because of early pioneers like her.
