Hello!!!
I am new on here. About me...I am a self taught painter. My brother committed suicide while on the phone with me on November 14th 2015. I was and still am devastated. In February, of this year, I kept thinking of paintings. I was frustrated because I never could paint, but all of a sudden I could. Curators call me the "Suicide Painter" because I somehow was rewired in my grief to be able to paint abstract subjects. Before all of this, I ran for mayor of my corrupt city. I lost. My campaign slogan was, "I'll put the oral back in mayoral." I still remain a civil rights activist and political activist. I protest regularly at our courthouse about the corruption in my town. Well, that's my story! I wish you all well! 
Shocking story. Sad to hear about your brother. Welcome to Steemit. Look forward to seeing your paintings. Stephen
