Description

Mary Block, MS, OTR/L is a pediatric occupational therapist and sculptor based in Illinois. Mary currently works in a school-based setting and owns a small private clinic. She founded Sculpture Bridge, an occupation-based program to address the needs of the youth who have outgrown clinic-based services. Occupational therapy and sculpting have been in Mary’s life for years. She works with a variety of mediums and has been commissioned to create sculptures for both public organizations and private homes over the last ten years. When competing paradigms altered Mary’s career path, the field of occupational therapy helped her to shape a new worldview. In uncertain times, it was meaningful occupation that empowered Mary to start over again.
