Simone Star is an artist and psychotherapist who seeks to communicate diverse human experience, themes of social justice, and traces of the ineffable through the language of visual art. Her work includes painting, sculpture, and beadwork among other media. With no formal art training, she has developed her artistic voice through a process of trial and error as well as deep listening. Because her art often depict members of indigenous and marginalized communities, a portion of her proceeds are donated to directly support these communities. Simone views her primary work in this world to be a path of service and self-growth, and her art is a symbolic representation of this healing journey. She lives and works in Grass Valley CA.
