My art on powerful CNN video

This week my art was on CNN again, in teh shape of a tapestry behind a fan of my art. That is cool n all, but the real reason to see this video is to hear teh story that she and her husband tell. He, Tomas, went to war in Iraq cause he thought he was defending his country. He was injured and crippled pretty quick and on his returned started spreading truth about  the war. By now he is in so much pain he is just going to let himself die. Hopefully a story like this touches some hearts and helps stops so much unnecessary suffering in this poor planet of ours. Check out the video HERE>

Visionary Mind MTL show

 

Back in 2009 I tried to introduce Visionary art to my city of Montreal. That event included over 30 of the best international artists of that movement, an dit was pretty successful, but too much work for an overwhelmed artist like myself...
