Front cover image: Life: the marathon – Simon O'Dwyer

"... This is a painting I completed while battling with bipolar disorder. A painting rich in reds, blues and white. Vibrant and intense. The painting 'Life: the marathon' is a portrait of my life. Starting at conception, we see the beginning of a journey, the crazy race for survival. The white represents life and the energy of bipolar. The red represents the entrance into life and the heart — a broken heart in places. The blue represents depression and all its moods. It is a painting of hope and joy ... Happiness has come in the past, will return in the future, and the fight will be in making it last."
