William Stoehr paints with passion and purpose because for him, it's personal. Bill lost his sister to the disease of addiction, and watching her struggle, he quickly learned the injustice of stigma associated with substance use disorder and mental health. His paintings portray both loss and hope all at the same time. He is able to humanize those struggling while also showing the resilience and hope that are universal. He just may be the link that helps someone decide there is hope after all. Can art really save lives? Bill is proving it is possible.
His work is exhibited internationally at universities, art centers, museums, and galleries. He is a frequent speaker and lecturer and his work has been featured and reviewed in local, national, and international media. https://www.williamstoehrart.com/ https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/05/01/992500811/an-artist-and-a-scientist-take-on-the-stigma-of-addiction https://spacegallery.org/artist/william-stoehr/
