Throughout Abbie's years of experience, she has witnessed countless occasions where clay has assisted so many people with unexpected and powerful positive outcomes. She is extremely passionate about the work she does and is absolutely motivated by the outcomes she believes are achieved through the power of hands on clay. Abbie's love affair with clay started roughly 30 years ago in a high school art class. However, it was her degree in Art Therapy that has afforded her the opportunity to build an extensive career in the social services field; specifically specializing in work with adolescents and promoting healthy parent-child relationship building and development. In addition to SIWC, Abbie is an accredited clay artist, public speaker, trainer, consultant and mentor to other professionals considering following their passion of starting a non-profit organization.
