Joshua McDonald started drawing as a young student who struggled with reading and writing and was able to draw to write reports and express what he was feeling. In 2010 he created a piece that not only defined himself as an artist but made him realize the power of art. Josh shares with Lonna his growth as an artist and his strong, haunting paintings regarding incarceration.
