APF's First Pain and Creativity Exhibit: View Honored Artists

Self Portrait of Pain
By Helen

Art110The Desert
By Helen

Daily
unremitting
never-ending pain
drains my soul
dry.

As harsh sunshine in the desert
parches
the entire landscape,
so this constant anguish
desiccates my spirit.

Even in the wasteland,
gentle spring rains
bring the desert to life.

When
will my springtime
return?

We thank all the artists for their incredible works of art, their courage, and their hope. APF’s online exhibit highlights the works of art chosen by our volunteer jury. These pieces are beautiful and heartfelt and they represent a small portion of the many, many wonderful works of art submitted. See all the submissions or contribute your own art to the ongoing Pain and Creativity Center.

"The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish,
cutting the heart asunder."
~ Virginia Woolf
