StageIV For Creative Arts Therapy
By Amy Li April 15, 2015 Does a cancer journey create a Chapter One in my life? Maybe. I lost my dad to lung cancer. From the day I broke down at work, hearing the word “cancer” over the phone until we lost him, it was less than 3 months. “Cancer” is such a scary […]

Ebony Iman Dallas is an award-winning artist, writer and founder of Afrikanation Artists Organization. Through art, she combines rich and fiery hues with whimsical forms to bring the spirit and energy of her subjects to life. Her artwork primarily addresses social, political and cultural issues.

from the University of Texas, that she would go back to school to receive her Master in
Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California.
