Marianne has practiced art therapy already for more than 30 years and she has trained art therapists in Finland for more than 25 years. LogoArt was born after Marianne became acquainted with logotherapy and noticed how its philosophy has many similarities with art therapy. Irmeli graduated as a LogoArt® therapist from Marianne´s programm in 2006. Together, they have been training new LogoArt® therapists for over a decade. Their experiences in practice and discussions together prompted the idea of writing this manual of LogoArt Therapy.

Marianne da Silva Prado has developed LogoArt
Marianne da Silva Prado (1959-) is a Brazilian-Finnish art therapist, who developed LogoArt® therapy by combining Viktor Frankl's logotherapy and Margarethe Hauschka's artistic therapy.
In 1982, da Silva Prado received her degree in Industrial Design from the School of Arts at FAAP University (Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado) in São Paulo, Brazil. In 1992, she graduated as an art therapist from Centro Paulus de Estudos Goetheanisticos in São Paulo. She completed an Associate in Logotherapy and Diplomate in Logotherapy programs in 1999 and is certified as a logotherapy teacher by the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy (Dallas, U.S.A.).
In Finland, Da Silva Prado has trained art therapists since 1993 and LogoArt® therapists since 2004. In her home country of Brazil, she has a private art therapy practice and she has also worked with the developmentally disabled for several years. For over twenty years, da Silva Prado has been maintaining and caring for her ranch, Espaço Kalevala, in Gonçalves, Brazil, in the highlands of Minas Gerais.
Da Silva Prado's mother is Irmeli Ivalo-Sjölie, whose family is deeply rooted in Finnish soil. One of Ivalo-Sjölie's grandfathers was Emil Wikström, a well-known Finnish sculptor, and the other grandfather was Santeri Ivalo, the founder of the prominent Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. Ivalo-Sjölie's mother, Mielikki Ivalo was among the first to bring yoga to Finland. Ivalo-Sjölie herself was a chemist, who contributed to bringing homeopathy and logotherapy to Finland. She started the Finnish logotherapy training program under the Dallas Division of the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy.
