A Soldier’s Heart

Marquette artist, Steve Wahlstrom through his paintings, tells his personal experience as a Viet Nam veteran in his exhibit, A Soldier’s Heart. The exhibit will include Heroes, a portrait series honoring his comrades with respect and compassion. Wahlstrom, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, explains that he ran out of words to describe what he was going through and started painting a year and a half ago. He found through creative expression a gratifying path to healing for himself, and by exhibiting his work a way for others to heal as well. The Community Arts Center is honored to present this thought provoking exhibit. Please join us for a reception and gallery talk Thursday, January 7 from 6-8pm.
