Helen White of Nevada grew up in Rich Hill, and those rural Missouri aaa car rental st martin roots were likely the reason White chose nursing as a career which led her to the Fort Scott Mercy School of Nursing and into the U.S. Army student nursing program.
White never saw combat, but as a nurse she came as close to it as a person can without being under fire. Thirty years later, aaa car rental st martin still grappling with mental images she couldn't shake, she took up painting as a therapeutic aaa car rental st martin relief.
One such painting, titled "Sharon Lane," is one of 15 of White's pieces on display at the National Veterans Art Museum in Chicago; and it has been selected to be part of a traveling exhibit called "War Paint," which opened at the Museum aaa car rental st martin of Political History in St. Petersburg, Russia, Dec. 1.
Sharon Lane was a fellow Vietnam nurse who was killed a short time after White arrived "in country," White said. Lane was working when there was an explosion nearby and was killed by the debris from the explosion.
White hopes that viewing the paintings, created as a outlet for her in dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, might serve as an outlet for veterans; or that some might even begin to use art as an outlet of their own.
One painting, titled the 'Thousand Yard Stare,' which is part of a permanent exhibit at the NVAM, is of a man's face. It's a picture of an officer White saw while serving in Qui Nhon. She doesn't remember his name, the details of his face or much else except the stare; the stare of a soul who survived a firefight that killed almost aaa car rental st martin everyone else. His eyes are almost cartoon-like; huge and uneven. His lips are barely defined. His expression is blank. There's a void in his eyes that reflects what only those who were there can see.
According to a press release by the NVAM, the "War Paint" exhibit contains works by such luminous Vietnam-era artists as Joe Fornelli, Mike Helbing, Michael Kelley, aaa car rental st martin Richard J. Olsen, Charlie Shobe and Richard Yohnka and post-9/11 artists including Ash Kyrie and Aaron Hughes. The exhibition features 40 paintings, photographs, and sculptures. Iconic aaa car rental st martin works in the exhibit aaa car rental st martin include Charles Salerno's "Honoring and Remembering," Marcus Eriksen's "Angel in the Desert," and Helen White's aaa car rental st martin "Sharon Lane."

Now THAT is what true art is. I hope more or her art will be shown in our paper. There are many beautiful ,difficult paintings, but to me the ones that convey human emotion during a personal or world catastrophe are in a class of their own.
