ABOUT THE ARTIST & COACH

Yelena Joy, MD : My childhood dream was to become an author, coach and illustrator. I am now living this dream and evoking new creations as I go.

What I like about art is creation and transformation. I can see how a blank piece of paper transforms into a new painting or pieces of material create a unique quilt. Creating art is such a close metaphor for creating life. We create ourselves every day and transform our lives as we choose to.

Maybe this is why after retiring from medicine, I am delighted to coach clients who are both seeking to realize who they really are and willing to radically reinvent them-selves according to what they find.

I see magic in transformation and we are the most magnificent art piece we will ever create.

Born in the industrial Siberian city of Omsk, I am the youngest of three children. I’ve been drawing since I first held a pencil. My only formal training in art was at a Russian art school for kids. As a child my work was exhibited in Moscow and elsewhere in Russia. I went on to work for many years as a pediatrician and medical psychologist, creating art in my spare time.

I relocated to California in 2001. I find the essential expression of my life and joy in creating art and coaching people to discover their magnificence.

I express myself in a variety of media and styles. I especially delight in creating custom work that captures the essence of my subject. My newest creation is Heart Art Experience. Please click on “See You Heart through Healing art.”
