🌻 Welcome to Healing-thru-AiArt

I’m Dawn Roeske — artist, creator, and certified therapeutic art life coach. My work began as a way to survive my own trauma and became a mission to help others do the same.

For most of my life, I was a quiet artist hiding behind pain. Then I discovered that when I gave my emotions a brush or a digital canvas, they stopped controlling me. That’s what I teach here — how to turn what broke you into what builds you.

Healing-thru-AiArt is where creativity meets recovery. I blend traditional art with AI tools to help survivors and creatives process emotions, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with their sense of wonder. This isn’t about being “good at art.” It’s about using art to feel human again.

I live in small-town Illinois with my husband RC and our twin boys, Joey and Ricky — the heart behind everything I create. My story includes estrangement, loss, and rebuilding from the ground up. If you’ve ever felt invisible, blamed, or broken, this space was made for you.

Here you’ll find:

Workshops and creative prompts that help you release what’s stuck inside
AI-assisted tools that spark ideas and self-reflection
Art downloads and healing resources to inspire your own creative rituals
A community that gets it — because healing is easier when you’re not alone

Every piece I create — whether watercolor, neurographic linework, or AI art — carries the same truth: beauty can grow from anything.

"Art isn’t about perfection. It’s a conversation with your pain until it turns into peace." – Dawn Roeske
