["Soldier in Pain" Acrylic on Canvas from Expose Your Art]
Bemis is closed today in honor of Veteran's Day. We salute the brave people who have served our country, like Ft. Carson soldier Isaac Torres. Torres is part of the Military Creative Expressions art therapy program at Bemis School of Art in partnership with Aspen Pointe. He shared his experience with us one afternoon before art class.
Torres's new cafe opens soon in Old Colorado City. Visit the cafe's website atExposeYourArt.com
