Paul Cooley is a fine artist based in New York City who recently had work acquired by Iowa State University Museumââ'¬â"¢s Art on Campus Collection. After battling drug addiction and homelessness from a young age, he found an avenue of self-expression through the art.

At 21 years old Paul Cooley decided to get sober, but he continued to pursue his passion in art and now has created a successful career for himself as an artist while preaching a message of positivity and hard work.
