"Art has helped me overcome many horribly difficult journeys.
I am sure I am not alone there. It's the power of choice. I choose to take the time to create great work that brings joy and hopefully joy for many others for many years to come.
As a survivor of Abuse, Addiction, and Mental Health Issues, it is my responsibility to show others that we do recover." - BWB
