“Art is myself made real - a physical record for others to experience. My inspiration for art is social change to our prison and justice systems, sharing emotion and love with all.”
Matthew Dolven, AFTI artist

“Art is huge to me. It helps express and gets things out of my head and onto paper. Art is something you can always start over or re-do, it is a second life full of endless chances.”
Alicia Mohrland, AFTI artist
