Mark Schebell
I have been involved with art for most of my life, starting with private lessons from the Raymonds in New Hartford, CT, at a young age. I didn't realize how deeply art would impact my life until my enlistment, where expression was not common. After leaving the Marine Corps in 2014 and departing 29 Palms, CA, 1 decided to travel Europe, observing the cultures and arts of each country I visited. I attended a liberal arts college in Gunnison, Colorado, for art and psychology in 2015 but became ill and had to return to Connecticut. Since being back in New England, I have frequently expressed myself artistically and am pursuing a professional art career. Currently, I am a student at Springfield Technical Community College, building credibility to one day become masterful in my craft.

The Mission
Warrior’s Art Room's purpose is to provide veterans and active duty members of the Armed Forces of the United States of America and their immediate families with a location for which they can receive instruction in the creation of art, encouragement to create said art, the display of works created, and to promote the creation of art to the veteran community.
The creation of and the instruction provided will not be limited to one medium, but will instead encourage the use of all mediums and forms of art.
We shall provide education by conducting workshops, one on one mentoring, free lectures, and informal classes.
From time to time we will host presentations/gallery exhibits of completed works and generate public awareness of our efforts.
