Episode 37 - Arts Everywhere - "Mental Health and the Arts" - with Gordon Pepper

Given her massive success as a Canadian photographer it's hard to believe that there was a time, when, not once, but twice Thelma Pepper faced depression head-on.  Her belief was that she needed to find something that would make her feel good about herself.  Those who know her work can attest to the fact that the power of her photography touched the lives of her subjects and audiences.  It is that kind of reaction that was all the confirmation Thelma needed to know that she had found her bliss, and in doing so, found that "something" that made her feel good about herself.  In this episode guest host Kevin Power is in conversation with Thelma Pepper's youngest son Gordon.  Gordon is a Saskatchewan film maker who gives listeners a first-hand look into the remarkable life of Thelma Pepper.
