HOW WE STARTED

OUR FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Christina DiMari
Christina established Discovery Art for Youth with a desire to create beautifully designed resources that empower children and youth to thrive in all areas of their lives. A teacher and certified art therapist, Christina has traveled around the world leading youth of diverse backgrounds to discover hope, healing and growth in their lives through nature, reflection and art.

Through the nature-themed expressive art books she creates and the wellness rooms she designs, youth are surrounded by the beauty of nature to help them process their emotions, learn how to self-regulate, foster courage, develop positive coping skills, express themselves in creative ways, and set positive goals for their future.

Christina and her team have been able to reach over 500,000 youth by providing book grants to leaders of youth in schools, hospitals and youth programs.
