   DENVER –  Seven months later, life has changed dramatically for   
   Carmen Tisch.   
      
   “I was a pill popper, heroin addict. I was in the methadone   
   clinic for while,” Tisch said. “And when I got off the methadone   
   that`s when I started drinking a lot. That`s when I was doing   
   the bath salt.”   
      
   Tisch blames dangerous bath salts for the day last November when   
   she walked into the Clyfford Still Museum, approached a painting   
   valued at around $30 million and urinated while leaning up   
   against it.   
      
   Surveillance cameras rolled.   
      
   “They actually measured my pee puddle,” Tisch said. “I Don`t   
   know why. Evidence, I guess."   
      
   “I'm kind of scared to watch it just to see myself like that.   
   Friends were telling me that it looked like I had something in   
   my hand hitting and scratching it, or whatever.”   
      
   Tisch doesn’t remember any of that. She finally “came to” hours   
   later in jail.   
      
   After police told her what she had done, amazingly, her first   
   thought was how lucky she was.   
      
   “I was in shock,” Tisch said. “I was ashamed and also a little   
   relieved that I didn`t murder somebody.”   
      
   Tisch has since spent time in jail, two psychiatric wards and is   
   now on intensive probation.   
      
   She is tested for drugs and alcohol every week but says there   
   are only two things she needs to inspire her sobriety. She has a   
   tattoo on her right ankle to remind her what they are.   
      
   “I got God, and I also have a daughter,” Tisch said. “My   
   daughter, she comes in my mind every time now.”   
      
   That, and the reminder of the most painful day in her life.   
      
   “I'm an artist myself,” Tisch said. “I`m sorry. I`m ashamed   
   about what happened.”
