As the Executive Director of North Shore Creative Rehabilitation Center (aka Sara’s Center) , a not for profit human service organization that utilizes creative arts therapies and a variety of alternative technologies for healing, growth and rehabilitation, Regensburg brought his extensive experience as a practicing artist and his understanding of the creative process to demonstrate the powerful way art and imagery heals and relates to the dimensions of human consciousness.

With creativity unleashed the potential outcomes are unlimited. Some past clients include JWT,USA, Draft FCB, Galileo Marketing and Research and others.
Mr. Regensburg’s artwork has been featured in galleries across the country and is included in many private and corporate collections. It includes paintings of ethereal skyscapes and life-sized sculpture that reinterprets totemic themes. His work has been said to evoke a meditative response that moves the viewer from a state of fragmentation, anger and fear to a gentle, more integrated state of well being. His work, which he calls “Memories of The Future” reflects the evolution of the human family from its current circumstances to an emerging integrated global consciousness.
