This episode is a moving story of overcoming deep adversity and helping others do the same through art portraiture. Karin Merx paints intuitive, highly skilled portraits in oil that illuminate the soul of the subject, and has also branched out into typographical art books. These books are colorful, hopeful illustrations of the words that tell the story of their subject. Karin makes the words speak visually through illustrations of quotes and turns a story of a moment, a crisis, or an entire life into a book of beauty.
