A proud Washington D.C. native, Janai Marshall is often more activist than visual artist. As a clinical therapist by profession, she develops therapeutic art practices to support community mental health, and promote joy-practices as tools of strengthening collective resilience.  Her mission is to create art & programming that serves the unique mental health needs of working creatives, that supports communities who are marginalized, and that inspires others to imagine a future where all are safe to thrive.
