For these artists, grief has become an integral part of their lives as well as in the way they create art. Their grief has also served as a catalyst: a catalyst to making connections as part of the healing process, a catalyst to creating pieces that engage the public with uncomfortable topics, and a catalyst to giving voice and visualization to their experiences.
