Calen T. Pick, Jessie Close’s son, has spent much of his life pursuing his love of art, painting, and various media projects. Landscapes have become a frequent subject, and much of his inspiration comes from life in Montana. Mental health and recovery have been prominent themes in Calen’s life after he was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder at nineteen years old. His interest in art is largely based on the therapeutic benefit of being creative.
