Peace Love helps those afflicted by some form of mental illness to create peace of mind through art
and storytelling. “I’ve suffered from OCD and anxiety since I was in college. It took a while before someone suggested I try painting to help me deal with it. So I did” said Sparr. “Despite having no artistic training,
painting made me feel better.
