Artist Cara Jean Means discusses her painting
series GRIP: Conversational Portraits on Mental
Health, which will be on display in the George
S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Gallery from August
16-September 26.
“Whether you have mental illness or simply
advocate for those who do, this series will shift
your conversational habits toward recognition,
healthy coping, and revolutionizing medical
care. This series encourages people to engage
in a way that leaves them feeling empowered
and willing to take responsibility for changing
the way we discuss and treat mental illness.”
