DrawBridge: Drawing Alongside My Brother’s Schizophrenia - Softcover
In an attempt to rekindle her relationship with her estranged brother Steve, who suffered with schizophrenia, Joan met him at the Art Studios in Vancouver. Schizophrenia had already done its worst, confounding Steve with voices, hallucinations, and delusions. At fifty-five, Steve was in a burn-out phase of schizophrenia with a hunger for creativity. Joan’s efforts to connect with him through art soon become the vehicle of change. Over the next eight years, Steve progressed both artistically and personally. Together, Steve and Joan explored their art and learned to trust one another. Steve’s artwork provides a glimpse into his perspective, at once troubled and beautiful. His paintings and drawings were eventually displayed in two solo exhibits at Basic Inquiry Gallery. He attended what would become his final solo show shortly before his death in 2013. DrawBridge: Drawing Alongside My Brother’s Schizophrenia offers a path of hope for those afflicted with mental illness and for their advocates.

About the Author:
Review:
Joan Boxall is a retired English teacher turned creative nonfiction writer. She contributes her nonfiction work regularly to Inspired 55+ Lifestyle Magazine. DrawBridge is her first book. She lives in North Vancouver with her husband. Born and raised in Vancouver, Stephen A. Corcoran trained at the Vancouver Art School in the 1970s (renamed Emily Carr University of Art + Design). His first solo exhibit was in February 2011 at Vancouver’s Basic Inquiry Gallery. His second exhibit was at the same venue in October 2013, shortly before his death.
“A lyrical portrait of a challenging relationship, Joan Boxall’s memoir about meeting her mentally ill brother every Tuesday for art class is a striking illustration of how art can both save and remake us.” (Jane Silcott, author of Everything Rustles and co-editor of Love Me True)
