about my art

the artwork here was inspired from my travels along route 66...I assume that those who find their way to this site will also have a fondness for all things route 66...for those who have not traveled the old route it is hard to describe what it means and how it feels to do so...and for those who have, it's more than just stepping back in time...in some ways I think it is about discovering who we are as a society; where we came from, how we got here and even a bit of what it means to be an american...so many of the things we take for granted have their roots here...we are a society built around a relationship with the car...if the pioneers were the infancy, then our parents came of age on route 66 and the rest is history...our collective history...they say you can't go home again, but no one said you couldn't visit...and I'm always ready for another visit...

all the artwork shown here is for sale...I've created a number of standard sizes that are printed directly to canvas, gallery wrapped (which just means the image wraps around the stretcher frame and does not require a frame, although you can easily have it framed if that works for you) and can be purchased directly through this site...however, that isn't the whole story...the work I produce is available in many other sizes and configurations...a visit to my website will give you a few more ideas beyond what you see here...I am known for the multi-panel configurations I create...if you have or know of a large empty wall be sure to keep me in mind...

here is an example of a multi-panel piece...it was specifically created for a 12' x 8' wall...


I am always looking for new ways to expose (and sell) my artwork to others...so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have an idea or two you would like to share...and if you have or know of any opportunities along route 66, well you get the idea...

thanks for stopping, I hope you enjoyed my work and please check back often (or subscribe) to see what's new...

will rogers memorial highway

oklahoma is where it all began...officially on november 26, 1926 route 66 was born from ideas generated by charismatic oklahoman businessman cyrus stevens avery...he envisioned a route connecting the midwest to california and that that route should pass through oklahoma...with the road would come economic development...and so it did, in spades...

in the entrepreneurial spirit of the old road, I will showcase the works of art I have created from the inspirations found along the way and all works will be available for sale...special requests are always encouraged...
