Art Garfunkel is a music legend, poet, author and actor who has received numerous awards and honors throughout his life including being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Internationally recognized for having a distinctive voice as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel and later Garfunkel & Garfunkel, he inspired many with his melodies and rhythms. But behind the harmonies and stage lights he was struggling to live with the challenge of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis feeling isolated and depressed. Finding the right treatment after years of struggling, Art hopes to inspire others through his story saying “There’s real power in speaking our truths. Vulnerability, as it turns out, is not weakness, it’s connection. And connection is healing. Take a breath. You will find your way through this.”
