I am disabled creative, David Cleofas Avila. Diagnosed during my teen years with schizophrenia, I write and make art & music to better square away the sequelae of my life. I have earned a B.A. in Psychology and am a proud Paul Harris Fellow. Musically and professionally, I have worked with Scott Amendola, Doug Grean, and the late Gary Young, to name a few. Visually speaking, my first painting, Hope For Tomorrow, is in the Susan Flemming family collection, curated by Lee Marx. My book, Lightward: The Journey Of Startus Maximus, Book One, is available on Kindle.
