Painter, illustrator, teacher, and storyteller, Marshall Arisman creates gut-wrenchingly powerful images for TIME, NEWSWEEK, THE NEW YORK TIMES, and many other leading publications. He also paints monkeys, cats, humans, and hyenas, and sees people's auras... ARISMAN FACING THE AUDIENCE tracks Arisman from New York City to an exhibition in China, and spends time with him in Lily Dale, New York, and elsewhere. In the process we get a great dose of Arisman's humor and terrific insight into his work.
