Antonia Rolls

I am a painter using my art to work with difficult subjects. I created the A Graceful Death project and exhibition of portraits and words from the end of life from 2007 until 2016, when both my sons' addictions became unmanageable. I created the Addicts And Those Who Love Them exhibition, portraits and words from addictions, to try to understand them. Both sons died from their addictions and suicide and now I am working on an exhibition, Beloved, bringing addiction deaths into the light.
