A Missouri based artist has taken his craft to a place that some may find very surprising, he wants to turn your loved one's ashes into works of art! Adam Brown uses cremated remains, mixed with paints, craft glues, and resins to paint their portraits. Each painting takes up to 48 hours to create and can cost up to $700, depending on the size and colors used. According to Brown "It hit me that having ashes in an urn on a fireplace would be a good way to remember that someone died, but having them in a piece of art is a good way of remembering that someone lived."
