38th Annual Illinois Art Therapy Conference
IATA is pleased to announce our 2019 Conference Keynote Speaker, Jeff Lohrius, MA!
Jeff Lohrius MA, is a graduate of the Transpersonal Art Therapy program at Naropa University. During his internship at the 18th District Juvenile Diversion Counseling Program, Jeff implemented digital art tools into the existing art therapy framework. Upon graduating in 2008, he maintained an art studio in North Boulder, Colorado where he facilitated art therapy sessions with teens and engaged in traditional and digital art making for a number of years.
Currently he has fully embraced the virtual reality art-making medium and is offering individual and group virtual reality art therapy sessions, workshops, and private consultations to other art therapists who wish to integrate VR tools into their own practice. Jeff facilitated a workshop at the 2017 American Art Therapy Association conference as well as ran a booth to introduce art therapy professionals to the experience of virtual reality art-making. He co-authored a chapter with Cathy Malchiodi on art therapy and virtual reality in the 2018 publication The Handbook of Art Therapy and Digital Technology. In the Fall of 2018, Jeff launched the online course Revolutionize Your Life and Practice with Virtual Reality Art Making which offers a comprehensive, 12 module training program for art therapists to learn the VR medium.
