Gregg Rochester’s professional life was absorbed in assisting others with their healing processes, working as a clinical psychologist for some 25 years. He had familiarity with creating art as a way of healing, and he promoted it with some of his clients. Little did he know that his own path would change where he had enormous need to find healing for himself. Painting helped him to experience the exploration of a pathway to regain his own soul’s wellbeing.
And little did he know that this path would eventually lead to finding expressions through his paintings that could assist others in finding a healing light. It came first through a commissioned painting for a family struggling with a serious illness in their child. They told him that their painting had a powerful healing impact on all of them. Later, he found hospitals and other health care settings requesting purchases or shows of his images.
Today, Gregg’s work is shown in over 30 health care settings. It is enormously satisfying for him to know that this visual path could be of use to the journeys of others.
“Color has its own language in the way it connects and resonates in everyone,” the artist explains. “Adding certain forms that create pathways and elements of nature, help us find our way home, where we know things are right with us.”
Gregg Rochester is a full-time artist represented throughout the United States. He has been collected in the U.S., Europe, Canada, and Asia. For more information, please visit his website.
