I have lived a bit, been strung out on drugs and made it home again, art saved my life when I was serving a prison sentence for possession of heroin. Two school teachers who work at the prison gave me the opportunity to be free. For anywhere from four to six hours a day for over a year they let me paint on a computer program and I discovered what was missing from my life. I am forever grateful to them.
I met my wife and the love of my life a few years after I was released, I never thought that I could have love, this all became possible because of the art. I love my new life.
