Art has heart. It is how we connect to ourselves & others. Art is welcoming, nurturing & a pathway home. My mission is to help you enjoy art to its fullest as a collector and/or as a student looking to learn something new. Either way I am happy you stopped by & together let’s create more joy & comfort through art.
Here is a little bit about the project:
In 2022 after driving on rt. 490 I noticed how the billboards were effecting my mood. Everything was gray, dismal and the messaging was far from uplifting. It was at that moment I thought it would be wonderful to put fine art up on billboards to cheer people up. So when I got home that afternoon I set out to work on what would later become “Billboard Art ROCs” Beautifying Rochester One Billboard at a Time! I ended up creating 3 billboards with my art on them that spring and summer. The response was wonderful. People were writing in sharing their stories of how they were having a bad day and then saw the billboards and felt uplifted.
Since then I have been trying to get “Billboard Art ROCs” Beautifying Rochester One Billboard at a Time! started. It is a labor of love to be sure. I am pleased to announce the first 4 billboards are up on Atlantic Ave. between Culver Rd. and Russell Street in the city.
To get involved please contact me. We are looking for corporate sponsorship and artists, schools and community centers who want to do art!

What is "Have a Heart, Hidden Heart, Daily Painting Challenge for Charity" all about?
