"Some people were like, ‘You paint Holocaust survivors? Aren’t you always depressed?’ And I’m like, ‘No, I’m completely inspired by these people’s lives.’ You know, despite what they’ve been through, how much success they’ve had. All the coping that they’ve had to do, the guilt that they have, and how they’ve turned that around. At points in their lives, they were told not to talk about the Holocaust. And to keep it bottled up inside. And they love how now we want to hear their stories. And how the public needs to hear them.”
