Have you ever been deeply moved by a tradgedy in the news? Yummy was an 11 year old child who lived and died on the streets of Chicago. Eric Morse was a 5 year old boy dropped out of a 14 story building by two older boys.

Remember hearing about that years ago? When I heard about it, it's like I thought --wow this really really happened here? As I painted, I recalled and released my emotions. I love that art helps one heal.

I've never forgotten these boys' story. I've been wanting to create something like this for a long time. Grateful the idea came and I listened.
