About
Richard J. Spasoff is a Catholic composer, writer, and visual artist whose creative work flows from a deep commitment to faith, prayer, and spiritual reflection. Blending meditative ambience with Christian devotion, his music offers listeners a sanctuary of peace — gently unfolding like a flower blooming in sunlight. Each composition begins softly, opening layer by layer into warm, reflective soundscapes that inspire healing, contemplation, and closeness with God.
As a multidisciplinary artist, Richard’s visual art mirrors the same spiritual movement that defines his music. His Faith-Inspired Abstract pieces explore themes of grace, transformation, divine light, and the motion of the soul. Through layered color, symbolic forms, and flowing energy, his artwork creates a visual expression of prayer — a path toward peace and renewal.
Richard is also the author of Faith in the Desert: True Stories of God’s Protection and Grace, a devotional memoir capturing moments of divine intervention, inspiration, and personal transformation. His writing reflects the same spiritual gentleness found in his music and artwork: a desire to uplift, encourage, and remind others of God’s constant presence.
Across all mediums, Richard’s mission is simple yet profound: to bring comfort, healing, and spiritual clarity to others through the gifts God has given him. His work invites listeners and viewers into deeper moments of faith — where the heart becomes still, the Spirit speaks quietly, and God’s grace blooms like light through the soul.

Walking by Faith
Walking by Faith – A Creative Testimony
by Richard J. Spasoff
Catholic Writer • Composer • Faith-Inspired Abstract Artist
Introduction
My work is inspired by God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
I am Richard J. Spasoff, a Catholic writer, composer, and faith-inspired abstract artist from San Diego, California.
Through my art and music, I explore the balance between good and evil, light and darkness, and the transforming power of God’s divine energy within the abstract.
Each painting and composition is created as an act of worship — expressing faith, hope, and the living presence of the Holy Spirit through color, sound, and emotion.

Walking by Faith in the Desert
The city shimmered with temptation, but my heart was dry ground. Every day became a small survival story — learning to depend entirely on God’s mercy and timing.
One evening I sat alone in my small apartment. There was no real door, only a drape. My bed had a hole in it the size of a tire. I didn’t have a suitcase — just a few plastic bags holding what remained of my life.
That night, I didn’t pray formally. I simply talked to God — my Father, my Savior, my guide.
He was everything to me.
I was lonely. I missed my family. I would call home just to hear my mother’s voice. She always reminded me:
“If you ever need anything, just come home.”
But I knew God had placed me in that desert for a purpose — to remove the anger inside me and teach me peace.
Then came the night when I had nothing left — not even toilet paper.
In desperation and faith, I walked to a nearby hotel to take some.
As I stepped out a back door, everything changed.
Red and blue lights flashed. Police officers were crouched behind cars. Armed suspects shouted back at them.
Without realizing it, I had walked directly into a live crime scene — in pajamas, carrying toilet paper in my jacket.
A deep, unmistakable nudge hit me:
“Get down.”
I obeyed instantly and crawled to safety as the Holy Spirit guided every movement. Not a single shot was fired while I was exposed.
Back in my tiny room, I lay down on my worn-out bed. I didn’t pray — I simply rested in God’s presence.
His mercy had carried me through danger I never even saw coming.
My Creative Journey
I’ve been creating art for over 45 years.
My journey began in photography — including a brief period as a police and court photographer — before moving into studio, commercial, and creative visual work.
I studied photography, graphic arts, and radio production at Palomar College.
I later hosted Hooked on Comedy Trivia on KCEO AM 1000 and worked on several shows at KLAV AM 1230 in Las Vegas, including collaborations with KFI’s Gary Owens.
Though health challenges now limit my ability to paint physically, I continue creating digital abstract works led by faith and the Holy Spirit.
I currently have over 100 unreleased pieces from the past twenty years that I plan to share soon.
Thank You
