My name is Lauren Rittler and I just graduated with my Undergraduate Degree in Art Therapy. I have a passion for art and helping others. So going into this field was the perfect opportunity for me to combine both of my passions. I studied at Piedmont College and plan to continue my education in a Masters program for counseling. When I am not in the art studio I am normally hiking with my dogs or traveling around the world. I have traveled to various places in Europe such as Spain, Rome, France, London and Switzerland. I have also traveled in East Asia to Japan. In all of these places I was able to immersed in the culture and enhance my knowledge of art both two-dimensional and three-dimensional. These are many of the opportunities that I have been grateful to be apart of and have shaped who I am today as a person and an artist.
