On Display in the Watts Gallery

Nez spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy and endured three combat tours, followed by two bedridden years battling cancer and debilitating depression. Her therapist wrote a prescription for her: watch Bob Ross videos. It wasn’t long before those "happy little trees" won her over. She wanted to paint, but her illness had taken away the dexterity and motor skills necessary for painting. She eventually came across a method of painting that involved mixing paint and a medium in a cup, pouring it over canvas and moving it around. Come see Nez's work on display in the Watts Gallery of the Goode Center at VWU throughout November.
