ART IS THE BEST THERAPY

Gary Melquist was a survivor, he had a diagnosis of manic depression.  He lived with the trials of misdiagnosis and harmful treatments. But his journey through mental illness provided him with a positive outlook on life.

Gary lived in Minneapolis all of his life. He traveled often to Northfield to visit his sister, Paula Case.  “Due to my recent diagnoses of cancer I told my sister I won’t be at FiftyNorth’s art exhibit in May. Paula reassured me my art display will advocate for others struggling through the highs and lows of manic depression.” Gary’s age at the time of his death was 79  (DOD 3-9-2026).

The pictures in his display represent the many places he visited. His art was a reminder to himself and  others of the potential that lies within everyone; especially those with a mental disorder.

 When you see a bright color sunset that is Gary sending a splash of color to us all. Thank You to FiftyNorth for honoring Mental Health Awareness Month.
