“Art has played a very big role in my life. For a long time it was the only thing that I could do well. I did not do very well in school. Art is the one thing that I was always good at.”

David Beharry, who has attention deficit disorder, was encouraged to pursue art last year by his high school art teacher. Under his careful direction, David was able to master the use of acrylic, graphite, colored pencils, charcoal, and ink. With a strong attention to detail, he captures the essence of a scene as if documented through the lens of a camera.

It represents where I would go if I were on a road trip.
