Arts
VetArtSpan host Fred Johnson talks with fellow Marine veteran Chris Stowe about Chris's journey from being an Explosives Ordnance Disposal Technician deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan to becoming an accomplished artist working towards his Master of Fine Arts degree. His creative path began with a mask-making art therapy experience and has blossomed into his glass-making work with Operation: Art of Valor at the Morean Art Center's Hot Shop. Chris is a mentor and an advocate for using the arts as a healing modality. His dedicated work with veterans is a model for how VetArtSpan and Creative Forces bring the creative experience to veterans and their families.
