The goal of this study was to explore what an adult woman with intellectual disabilities experienced during art therapy, as well as the meaning of the experience. The researcher used the narrative inquiry method focusing on life stories and the experience during art therapy. The participant is a woman aged 38 with intellectual disabilities. She participated in a total of 12 unstructured weekly art therapy sessions from December 2020 to March 2021. Each session lasted 90 minutes. The researcher collected transcripts, artwork, and photographs during these sessions. Five themes emerged during these sessions, namely “the loneliness of the Intellectual disabilities,” “bad COVID-19,” “thankful people.” “I want to be beautiful,” and “My dream is to be a chef.” Psychological well-being and self-determination were a core parts of the meaning of the sessions, as were “the opportunity to communicate in isolated daily life,” ”relieving life stress through creative activities,” “COVID-19 information through the use of sensory media,” “self-expression through visual language,” “overcoming the feeling of helplessness caused by COVID-19 through successful experiences,” and “the process of finding the meaning of life.” Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
