The study involves 14 respondents who were invited to complete a Qualtrics survey as well as a process of arts-based inquiry. Researchers analyzed participants’ survey and art responses using an iterative collaborative process to identify emergent themes. These themes included a non-optional and internally-located drive to create; positive emotional, social, and physiological impacts associated with art-making and art-sharing; and, positive impacts on art practice associated with the pandemic. These findings emphasized the unique strengths and challenges associated with the professional artist identity. art therapy professional artists COVID-19 artmaking art therapy psychotherapy professional artists self-identified professional artists artwork self-soothing artists art therapy coping Art Therapy Medicine and Health Sciences Mental and Social Health
