Stuart Perlman, shown surrounded by his portraits of homeless people he meets on the Venice Beach boardwalk, is a Santa Monica psychologist who has studied trauma survivors. For the last two years he has interviewed and painted the portraits of homeless people in Venice Beach. Here Perlman holds a portrait of Daniel, a former project leader at an architectural firm whose life spun out of control a dozen years ago after a drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into the family vehicle, killing his wife and children. Daniel was not in the vehicle.
