Art Posi+ive: Fighting Spirit

"Frustration" by Simon Thwaites

CATIE's Positive Side magazine has a great article on SimonThwaites (by Jennifer McPhee). Simon first made headlines taking the Canadian Armed Forces to court for firing him for being HIV positive in 1989 (which was upheld by the Federal Court of Canada in 1994 in a landmark decision) and has since found a new way to connect with others via his art.[Above Artwork: Frustration, by Simon Thwaites]
