Michael is one of our very special guests this Sunday. You see, Michael had a brain tumor when he was 13 years old. His surgery removed the tumor, but it took his sight. To help him through the trauma, he began art therapy. His story is one of change, overcoming challenges and wonderful accomplishments given his situation. He is an amazing artist with a positive, take-on-the-world story. He is but one artist who shows the world what art can truly do to help and inspire people of all ages.
