Our Story
Art Therapy Ottarsdottir studio began in 1991 as the passion project of art therapy pioneer Unnur Ottarsdottir. It is a place of healing and learning, where those who have suffered trauma can find ways to express themselves and cope through artistic expression.
Since its inception, Art Therapy Ottarsdottir has been a part of numerous studies and breakthroughs in the field of Art Therapy. In 2000, students from a secondary school in Iceland participated in a landmark study on the impact of drawing on memory, discovering that students who used art to draw words were far more likely to recall those words at a later date than students who had written them down. This study findings were published in 2018 in Art Therapy Online journal (ATOL).
