Where: Judy Lucero’s art studio space in Denver
What: In “Riders on the Storm,” I investigated Colorado’s mental health care system. What I found was so nuanced that we “elevated” the story that appeared in the December issue to a fully interactive story on 5280.com/mental health. Online, you’ll meet Judy Lucero, a talented artist who also has a bipolar diagnosis. She let me follow her one morning as she worked on a three-piece abstract painting (final product is pictured above). She spoke with me about how her illness progressed and how she re-found her creative self after decades of fighting for her health.
