NDE, legacy, + the healing power of art with ANDRE ROCHESTER, SR. | EP 4 | Lighting a Candle Podcast

Today I'll be in conversation with Andre Rochester, Sr. We'll be chatting about setting boundaries as a creative, taking care of our physical and mental health, and we go into Andre's near death experience and life and art since.

Andre uses his art to make statements for which words are not enough, highlighting underlying emotions connected to his subjects. It is a combination of portraiture and conceptual works linked by narratives of his own experiences. His art is a tool for healing and a catalyst for connection-letting people know they are not alone.

He is an art consultant, offering his expertise for the development and leadership of public and private art initiatives.

He believes that with every step forward, we must make room for others to join us.
