A local artist in Parkland is painting portraits of each victim of the shooting tragedy to help heal her community.
Nava Lundy's in-home studio is near the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where on Feb. 14 a gunman shot and killed 17 people.
"I'm thinking about how much life they had left to live," Lundy said of the victims. "My goal is to comfort the families."
