Grace and Michael Zambelli Art

As an artist, Grace likes to use acrylics to capture the mood and nuances of everyday life.   Her work in the bereavement field has propelled her to create work that affirms the consistent, positive details that are often overlooked in one’s hectic, sometimes overwhelming life.    She has enjoyed capturing many of these moments in the scenery and people of South Jersey.

 

Grace Zambelli is a NJ Licensed Psychologist and an Art Therapist who has keen interest in art, psychology and helping others.    Over the past thirty years, she has melded a professional career and a personal life that have combined these passions.   Starting with BA degree from the College of New Jersey in Art Therapy and Psychology, she has used art to develop art therapy programs to help bereaved children and their families cope with death and loss.   Grace also has a Ph.D. in Child Clinical Psychology from Seton Hall University.  She has authored numerous articles and several training manuals about the use of art and creative methods to positively facilitate the grieving process.  Art making as therapeutic modality has been a primary way for her to work with children in private practice.
