“The Art of Reinvention”


Timothy Bernard Cooney (Tim Cooney) is the founder of SunTurtle Studios and a lifelong storyteller—writer, painter, singer-songwriter, and landscape photographer—whose work spans six decades of lived experience and creative output. After a long career in financial services, Tim returned fully to the arts, using creativity to rebuild, reconnect, and seek truth through beauty and grit. His flagship body of work, The Journeyman Project, brings together memoir, music, and visual art as one integrated story of family, loss, love, and reinvention—anchored by his memoir Taking the Helm, Compass and Tides and the companion three-volume soundtrack The Journeyman. Tim’s mission is simple: to make work that helps people feel seen, and to prove—through art—that it’s never too late to begin again.
