Bullying and Suicide have been pushed to the forefront of America's problems and it's an issue that is long over due for some attention.  A couple of local artists are trying to help stop the problem.

 

Nicole Christensen Pettinger and Jessica Tookey are sharing paintings and stories in hopes of squashing the stigma of mental illness, and saving lives.

Pettinger said...

"I think we've all been in a bad place, if we're honest, so my whole point is to be involved and let people know to have faith and have hope."

Tookey has been displaying her artwork across the Treasure Valley, most recently Saturday at the Jackson Jet Center near the Boise Airport.
