Paint4Peace (TM)

At the core of our Founders personal philanthropic spirit is our art program and experience created by Jeffrey M. Sparr in his own battle and recovery from mental illness. Desperate for a release from the anxiety associated with his OCD, Jeff discovered that when he painted, despite no formal training, he found peace of mind. He figured if it made him feel good, it would make others feel good too.

"Let’s face it we all have something we are dealing with. If there is a way to help people find the thing that brings them peace of mind, be it art, music or whatever it is, I want to help. Finding my own peace through painting has changed my life and helped me not only cope, but thrive despite this debilitating disease." – JM Sparr

From that simple premise a 14 month journey began. Jeff has personally taught every class, hundreds to be exact, and into every possible demographic. The result is countless smiles, touching stories, beautiful paintings, and artistic interpretations. The “Experience” was born.  An experience, whose beauty lies in its simplicity, Paint4Peace™ aims to inspire, motivate, and build self confidence through creative outlets, artistic expression, and an authentic story and message of hope. Every class is a thought provoking journey facilitated by an interactive symbol which acts as a guide and encourages the students/artists to express and share “What Peace of mind and love means to them.”
