Award Winning Artist in Need of a Studio….and a Home



When we are young, some of us may dream of becoming an astronaut, doctor, firefighter, or you guessed it, an artist!  We all have different goals and dreams.  But as we get older and grow up, life happens.  We stumble.  We fall.  We make mistakes.  Holding onto our dreams become more and more difficult over time.  

Robert Goldsberry has endured hardship that would make most give up on their dreams. Due to situations that have resulted in homelessness, he lacked the resources to help him continue painting.  Yet, he hasn’t given up! Regardless of any hardship, he hasn’t given up on painting; and has painted with the very few resources that he has been able to access.

If you want to see his work in person you should go to Great Western Art Gallery in downtown Denver where you can see the painting “Always” shown here.
Robert hasn’t given up on his most recent goal of helping others either!  As a Vietnam Veteran, Robert learned firsthand of the therapeutic benefits of painting in the form of abstract expressionism. He describes the benefits that colors of this art form allows with respect to being able to easily translate our own emotions thru them.  It helped him cope with the rigors of the war and he wants to help others the same way. This would be therapeutic to anyone, but Robert wants to focus on veterans and teach them to create their own pieces of abstract expressionism.
I hope Robert reminds you in the same way that he reminded me about not letting life get the best of you, but to get the best out of life!  Life is stressful, but there is a lot of art that can be made.  If you would like to help Robert help others, purchase one of his artworks, or in need of his framing expertise please contact us at yourartyourcommunity.com    
Thank you,
