Instagram post 2251006007780198965_7355221419 Meet Frank Zhang 21 yrs old, featured artist from the #ECHOArtShow You can follow him on Instagram and Etsy: @stars_dont_talk_33 Frank has been painting since he was young, he learned how to paint and draw from his grandmother who was a teacher. He learned to use acrylic, water paints and colored pencil. As time passed on he kept painting it evolved into a hobby - an outlet and a skill for him. When he turned 18, he started creating his own art with his own characters, he was in a really dark place. It became a way for him to express his feelings and make friends. Frank creates art that tells a story that represents his life and feelings at the moment in time. Each series has 5 pieces in it, they are tied into a quote that relates to his story. His newest one is called 'Mr. Screw'.

If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions." - Kelsang Gyatso Do you meditate?

Instagram post 2235114763640353433_7355221419 An addiction is always an addiction no matter how long you’ve been away. It will welcome you back with open arms, crying over how much it has missed you. An abusive relationship, those crocodile tears only serve to pull you right back in. ˙ Do not trust the sweet, sweet siren song. You will lose yourself again. ˙ This bitter scrape with death will leave you gasping again and again. ˙ Do not return to the sweet, sweet siren song. You will lose yourself again. — I have been lost so many times - 7/365 - EJ Ring

Instagram post 2227123634026112029_7355221419 Meet Sam 27 yrs old, and Caleb 25 yrs old, featured artist from the #ECHOArtShow You can follow them both at @ohcabel - (you must follow to view their work) They shared their art and story with us at the #ArtinRecovery event. Sam took art classes and was in the art club in high school, she knew she didn't want to make a career out of it but always loved 2D art and over the years has developed her 2D art on different mediums. As her and Caleb would go hiking they would find these materials and use them as mediums. Caleb's father is an artist but they never created any art together. Clayton the man who organizes the show went to Caleb's house one day and they decided to start creating art and it took off from there. He likes using materials he finds from Goodwill, or abandoned materials. He enjoys using items that are going to be thrown away and creates something valuable with them, his influence is his inner child wanting to make something.
