Meet Lynne Okun
Lynne is a quintessential jack-of-all-trades who combines her playful, dynamic intuition with the wisdom of her professional background. She is an MFT, Registered Art Therapist(ATR, BC) and for the past decade was the Executive Director of Kids Arts, a free, comprehensive arts program for kids and teens, which takes place in the magnificent Art Barn in Ventura, California. Lynne earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Design from UC Davis and MS in Art Therapy and Counseling from CSU Sacramento. Her work with Ventura County’s youth spans 12 years. She is a mentor for many young artists in the community. In addition, Lynne worked for the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance where she supervised interns and initiated a series of imaginative art projects to celebrate the lives of LGBT youth and community members.
Lynne is inspired by the power of the arts as a tool for learning about the world around us and inside of us. She is a digital collage and multimedia artist and avid “crafter.” She is a passionate life-long learner who embraces the art of permaculture, gardening, sustainable design, earth-building, Partner Yoga and Thai Massage. These pursuits have combined to form the building blocks and inspiration for her current enterprise, “Explore the YOUniverse Through the Arts.”

What does it mean to explore the YOU-niverse?
First of all, it means that there IS a universe inside YOU just waiting for your discovery! That’s right… Carl Sagan said it best when he said “We are star stuff!” He meant it literally and so do I. How can you tap into that sparkling treasure of creative possibility, health and well-being that is inside you and let it fluorish freely in all its colorful exuberance and glory?
I have one word for you and that is ART. Exploring the YOUniverse means discovering the healing and transformative power of ART as a tool for self-exploration, self-expression, personal growth and rejuvenation. Together we will tap into our naturally abundant, creative core in a safe, supportive studio setting.
