Crazy Art is a local Santa Barbara documentary that follows three artists who battle mental illness and deal with living with<\/p>\n

schizophrenia.\u00a0 It examines their search for identity, acceptance, and recovery through their unique and thought provoking<\/p>\n

art.\u00a0 I found this film to be very honest and truly inspirational about living life with our conditions, whatever they may<\/p>\n

be.\u00a0 At this premiere, it received a standing ovation for the film.\u00a0 The director said at the Q+A that the purpose was “to<\/p>\n

show a human side to something people don’t really know about.” One of the artists stood out in particular – Trinaty Lopez-<\/p>\n

Wakefield who does not like labels for herself about anything – whether it be her style, attitude, art or illness.\u00a0 “We are<\/p>\n

all human beings… It is really hard to be alone in this world,” Trinaty says. The film is dedicated to Skye Campbell,<\/p>\n

another artist who died before making recovery, whose bones were found in the mountains of Santa Cruz.\u00a0 What struck me in<\/p>\n

particular about this film was the deep connection the three artists had with their artwork – and with the process of<\/p>\n

creating, selling, exhibiting, and how it affects them and their mental wellbeing.\u00a0 Trinaty’s son explained that his mother’s<\/p>\n

artworks are priceless, because it is a part and comes from the artist’s life, mind, soul, and everything that emanates from<\/p>\n

the person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
