Mary Putera

Mary Putera is an organizational consultant and Associate Professor in the Expressive Arts Department at Lesley University in Boston, MA. She trusts sensory-centered artmaking as an inherent human capacity – a practice of wisdom and relational interdependence with all life. Facilitating and participating in community artmaking is one of her greatest joys. Mary’s work seeks the places where Beauty is flourishing, and the invitations Beauty extends to us—to form life with Them, so that all beings may flourish together. https://theartofintegrity.org/
