Archive Art

Veteran William Shepherd, a recent honoree of the Robert T. Rubin Award for veteran art that heals, explains that “The power of art can take you through time. When you view a painting, it opens your eyes. A painting can bring back memories to a time you may have known or to a place you once saw. It can take you to places of joy and happiness. A painting can make you feel good. God has given you the artist so you can travel somewhere each time you enjoy a painting. So, I say to you that I’m convinced art can heal.”
