Warmth by Ben Adams
Warmth
Acrylic on cardboard
The prisons are filled with drug addicts, but the drugs are not the problem. They are a symptom. The problem is the addict is searching for a warm place of comfort. They find that place through drugs.

Identity Statement
I can't help but to see identity as a variable. One that can only be governed by perspective. I have been many things to many people over the years. Some of those qualities have been counted as a great value, and others as quite detrimental. I think that all would agree that I have always been able to adapt and overcome. In truth, I expect only to be seen as I am in each moment. It is my hope that whoever that may be, it will in some way to be of value to someone.
What role does art play in your life?
Art for me sometimes gives purpose to a life void of relevance. Often times it is an expression of a thought or a feeling.
