Top Artistic & Coaching Services in Rochester

Hello, and welcome! I am an independent artist, spiritual coach, and creator of Artwork for the Soul classes, based in Rochester, New York that offers a range of supportive artistic services. I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York and in 2022 retired from 27 years of service in the U.S. Army.

My distinctive artwork incorporates a unique design, a signature of my creativity, that tells a narrative of resilience, transformation, and healing. These are not just paintings, but emotive pieces of hanging art that deeply connect with the observer. The variety of canvasses I use range from the traditional to the more innovative, such as wood, stained glass, and imaginative combinations of the two, offering a novel take on artistic expression.

Alongside my artistry, I offer an array of healing through art services that aim to inspire, empower, and support. These include classes, workshops, seminars, individual sessions, and programs tailored for recovery, such as Warriors Relapse Prevention. 

Art is a healing medium for me, and I want to share that healing with the world. I believe we can put down the hate and pick up a paint brush, a microphone, dance and express ourselves through art and not violence. When I am in pain, I turn that pain into a piece of art and when I am angry, I turn that anger into art. When I am full of love, I express that love with art and introduce my message to the world.

Some of the proceeds of my artwork go to “Living the Dream” bags that are put together and given out to the houseless in my area. The bags consist of toiletries, masks, gift cards for food, and information from social services, VA help, and recovery organizations. I believe in giving back what was so freely given to me, unconditional love!

The inspiration for my art stems from personal experiences and internal reflections, producing work that is authentic and deeply personal. The challenges I've overcome are embedded in my art, symbolizing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Art brings feelings to the surface by representing emotions and everyday situations. This can be done with representational and abstract art. The idea is to share inspired ideas and make connections with others through art. Every stroke of the brush opens a path to understanding and healing, a process that can be seen and felt in the soul. Art encourages people to express their feelings creating a deep connection between the artist and viewer. It is about sharing the transformative power of art through creative expression and seeing beyond our differences.
