Alice van Buren is an artist and teacher with credits in film, theater, radio, and print. She is also a senior member of the C.G. Jung Institute’s Training Seminar in Santa Fe, New Mexico. An explorer between disciplines, she hunts the mystery of meaning in pictures and words, and paints one large idea over a period of years. From literary origins, she came to the visual arts in her thirties and has been juggling the two realms ever since. She has worked as a journalist in America and abroad, taught writing and drawing to adults and children, and launched a range of art projects, from a Spoken Word theater to a street funeral for Big Oil. She has also written and produced plays and films: historical, contemporary, and noire. She currently leads workshops on art and psyche, or drawing from the unconscious. Back at the ranch, she keeps up with horses (USDF Bronze medalist, 2015) and, sporadically, the classical guitar.
