Meet Our Instructors

Ian McCartor is a hospice nurse, artist, and founder of The Ash Rose Project, an innovative program that transforms the ashes of loved ones into memorial portraits that symbolize healing and remembrance. Drawing from over a decade in hospice care, Ian combines clinical expertise with creative legacy work – using both visual art and music to help patients and families find peace, meaning, and connection at the end of life.
 
As a singer-songwriter, Ian has written and recorded legacy songs for hospice patients – personal compositions that honor their stories and relationships. His work has been featured in national hospice and grief-care forums as an example of how the arts can complement evidence-based care and deepen the human experience of dying and remembrance.
 
Through his companies Phoenix Memorial Arts and Eternal Companion Studios, he continues to integrate art, storytelling, and compassionate care in ways that redefine how we honor life’s final chapter.
