Tiny Showcase released ltd. ed. “OG Squiggle” — 15% of all proceeds to LCAT Lobbying fund. / by Abbie Zuidema

Right in time for Valentines!

My watercolor painting, “OG Squiggle”, was released as a ltd.ed. by Tiny Showcase! Prints are created by @tinyshowcase and ship with a certificate of authenticity. The artwork has been printed on a heavy 290gsm natural white paper. Each print measures 10 x 8 inches. $30.

15% of the profits will be donated to the @lcatadvocacy Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCAT) Lobbying fund. This cause is near & dear to me as a recent graduate from Pratt Institute with a MA in Creative Arts Therapy.

“The mental health crisis in New York continues and New Yorkers deserve more access to psychotherapy provided by Licensed Creative Arts Therapists. Since May 2023 (funded 100% through grassroots action) a lobbyist representing LCATs— has been in Albany, fighting on behalf of LCATs and our clients.

LCATs were removed/excluded from 3 recent mental health expansion bills in New York State - a bill to mandate Medicaid coverage, a bill to expand diagnostic privilege, and most recently a bill to mandate blanket commercial health insurance coverage for psychotherapy. 

In 2024 we are pressing forward to try to get our LCAT-only insurance coverage bill passed & to add LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List.”
