Lisa Nackan

“Making the invisible visible” is a dominant theme in my life, inspiring everything I do.  As an Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist, I strive to help others find voice.  I photograph fleeting moments in nature, capturing them so they can be seen.  I paint, often in layers, covering and uncovering.  Most people don’t know that I’m a rockhound, obsessed with minerals and geology.  I recently graduated with an MFA in Creative Non-Fiction, and I am in the process of completing my book called The Poison in Syringa Berries:  A Memoir about Voice.  I live in Thornhill, Ontario with my family, three dogs, and a parrot who can’t talk.
