Our art is inspired by our fascination with how a deeper understanding of the human psyche can help us to thrive in life.
Our current projects explore (1) the shared life journeys of couples, (2) aspects of the word “leviathan” and the human relationship with the mysteries of the deep, and (3) dreams about flying, invoking intertwined images of American and personal history.

Our art project Monument was honored with a Social Media Leadership Award from The Wharton School. A photographic analysis of the forgotten history presented in American monuments, Monument was recognized by Wharton as an example of how to use social media to promote a more unified world.

Dr. Tracy Steen received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Michigan in 2003 and moved to Philadelphia to complete a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in positive psychology—the scientific study of positive emotions, character traits, and institutions. Rather than focusing exclusively on treating psychopathology and disease, a positive psychology approach aims to optimize psychological health and help people flourish.
Dr. Steen continued to work at the University of Pennsylvania as the Clinical Director and then Director of the Charles O’Brien Center for Addiction Treatment. She now runs her own private clinical psychology practice in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia.
