NEWS ARTICLE: ARTIST FIGHTS STIGMA
OF SCHIZOPHRENIA


Prior to my unveiling my art exhibit, I was fortunate enough to meet a woman named Lori Cullen. She works for the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI), in NY state, as the communications specialist. Lori also writes for the Times Union, a newspaper in Albany, NY. In order to raise awareness about the stigma that surrounds mental illness, Lori was interested in featuring my story in the Times Union. I was surprised yet very excited. Lori wrote an inspiring article which pointed many readers towards my website (featuring my artwork). Click here to read the article.
