Finding Purpose and Rehabilitation 

William Noguera was always an artist, but he discovered his love for Expressionist art while reading art history books in prison. His biggest source of inspiration is the abstract painter, Mark Rothko. Creating art helps William process trauma, feel a sense of escape within his cell, and has gained him recognition in galleries across the world. His book, "Escape Artist," delves deeper into how painting has profoundly impacted his life.
