Buddhist Chaplain, Coach, Artisan and Psychotherapist Ann Marie McKelvey works daily with
collages personally and with private clients. Ann Marie's new multi-media collage series,
"Influenced by a Dream", evokes the life of the collective unconscious. The banner on this
website is from that series. Many collectors find that Ann Marie's collages appear to change
from day to day giving the viewer a variety of different symbols to work with throughout
their lifetime.
Just for a moment...explore the world of the collage banner at the top of this page. Let
your gaze soften and gently expand. Breathe into the world you are seeing. Notice what
symbols arise for you... How would they be helpful for you to use today?
As a child Ann Marie loved to play dress-up….she wore many costumes. One day she would
be Annie Oakley. The next, Raggedy Ann. (Can you spot her in the photo below?)
So, no one was surprised as she grew into an adult that she was curious about many
aspects of life — art, psychology, religions of the world, business, and ultimately, coaching.
As a consultant Ann Marie draws from her life experiences in working with businesses. As a
coach she empowers her clients to draw from their own life experiences through inner and
outer resources. Her life is now about contribution, both locally and globally.
Ann Marie and her son live in the high desert country outside of Santa Fe in their solar
home surrounded by the Great Horned Owl, Antelope, Coyote, Quail and Pinon Jay. As a
clinician and writer she is currently contributing to EMDR Solutions II: Pathways to
Healing for W.W. Norton Publishing. Her focus will be on EMDR, Positive Psychology and
Coaching.
