Lucia’s Legacy
Dr. Lucia Capacchione, PhD (1937-2022), was a pioneering art therapist, author, teacher, artist and community-builder. Fueled by a lifetime of seemingly endless creative energy, she was among the earliest clinicians to combine journaling with multi-modal arts to the therapeutic realm.
Her work developing Lucia Capacchionie’s Creative Journal Expressive Arts® therapeutic methods over a forty-plus year timespan, touched the lives, hearts, minds and souls of countless individuals, including clients, students and collaborators.
Her methods distinctly combined visual methods and writing (including non-dominant hand drawing and writing), and other creative activities to take a holistic approach to expressive arts therapy.
Lucia’s Legacy is dedicated to honoring Dr. Lucia Capacchione, by sharing a comprehensive collection of her prolific life’s work, artistic endeavors and historical gems.
