A veteran paints himself in a painting that echoes one of Norman Rockwell's most famous self-portraits, and that is featured in the Combat Arts exhibit in the Southwestern University art gallery, Sept. 14, 2013. The paintings in the exhibit were all created by groups of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Combat Arts San Diego is a nonprofit organization that provides visual arts classes to active and inactive duty veterans who have served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and was founded on the principle that making art is inherently therapeutic.
