ABOUT
Tim Cooney
“The Art of Reinvention”
Writer, painter, singer-songwriter, and landscape photographer — six decades of lived experience and creative output, and the hundred-year family archive behind it.
THE STORY SO FAR
Tim Cooney is the founder of SunTurtle Studios® and a lifelong storyteller. His work spans six decades, from early recordings and photographs to the memoir, paintings, and music of The Journeyman Project.
After a long career in financial services, Tim returned fully to the arts, using creativity to rebuild, reconnect, and seek truth through an artist's eye.
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 Taking the Helm: Compass and Tides and the companion soundtrack The Journeyman in three volumes.
His 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.
The Journeyman Project
Memoir, music, and visual art, told as one story. The book sits at the center; the songs, paintings, and photographs run alongside it.

Thanks for taking the time to read my work, view my images, and listen to my songs. Everything here comes from the same place—a personal archive built over a hundred years by six generations of storytellers.
