"La vie en rose" - Nicholas Showers-Glover

8.5" x 11" | Pencil and color pencils

I am a current inmate serving time inside an Alaskan prison. Drawing for me is meditation. When everything seems to be out of my control, I always can control the pressure of my pencil on the paper. When I can’t verbally express how I’m feeling, I can draw a picture that describes my feelings a whole lot better. I try to be less political and more spiritual, but I find the two blending more often than I want them to. What comes out on the page is sometimes a better expression then the one I run in my head. I know that this is a gift and a blessing and I’ll never try to understate that which makes me ever so grateful that I have found a true love, like art, that will never betray me. .
