I lost both my sons to suicide and addiction, one after the other. In the darkness of their lives and the tragedy of their deaths I saw that no matter how dark the darkness is, the light is always there. Beloved is the name I have given to those who die in this way, and those who collect our lost people to carry them into the light are The Beloveds. The exhibition is a collection of oil paintings and written words, turning the darkness of despair, suicide, overdose and loss into the light. No one dies alone.
