Anthony Bartley is a Chicago native, Hyde Park artist, and living proof that creativity can save your life. After a traumatic concussion in high school left him temporarily paralyzed, Anthony fell into a spiral of depression and isolation that brought him to the edge of a parking garage. Instead of stepping over, he picked up a paintbrush. Now, his work, including his new exhibition Mind Games, uses bright, nostalgic imagery inspired by cartoons and anime to spark real conversations about mental health and healing. In this episode, Anthony sits down with Terran to talk about art, survival, and finding your way back to yourself.
