Instructor Bio:Judy Nemer Sklar

Through my work with organizations such as the Riverside County Office of Education, Eisenhower Medical Center, Sunnylands/Annenberg Trust, and the Palm Desert Library, to name only a few, I have designed and facilitated workshops that empower participants to explore self-expression and healing through the arts. My projects, such as A Gathering Process, which supported communities in processing pandemic experiences, and I am Enough, a children’s illustration initiative, demonstrate my commitment to using art as a transformative tool for personal growth and connection.

In addition, I have exhibited nationally, published widely, and served in volunteer leadership roles. I am in my final year and currently pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling with a specialty in Expressive Arts Therapy, my second Master of Arts degree, which further deepens my expertise in integrating creativity with wellness practices.
