Dangerous Beauty

It’s a favorite of mine. This painting ‘Dangerous Beauty’ took about 3 months to paint and a lot of thought. I’m extremely pleased with this painting. This painting features a wine crate of one of my favorite wines in the world – Château Pétrus!!! Not much else you would need but wine on a deserted island ….. !!!!! 

Bluebird Cafe Dreams Painting

This is my new painting ‘Bluebird Café Dreams’ currently for sale @ The Arts Company Gallery in Nashville, TN (gallery show April 4th - May 9th, 2014)

Bluebird Café Dreams

18” x 26” (45.72 x 66.04 cm)

Acrylic on Canvas

'Bluebird Café Dreams' is about the power of manifesting your dreams into reality. I painted a young country singer giving her all at the famous café that spawned the careers of country music’s biggest stars such as Taylor Swift. When I visited the Bluebird Café while in Nashville in Jan of 2014, I was so inspired by the Bluebird that I had to paint it!

TURBO

Here are early concepts for the DreamWorks Animation Film “Turbo.” I was one of the first artists on the movie and I was asked to take a quick pass at some of the main characters! Many of the ideas in these early sketches made it into the final characters. 

You can see a few of my sketches in “The Art of Turbo” book – here are a few more! Check them out! 

Their Words Will Never Hurt Her Again

This Painting, "Their Words Will Never Hurt Her Again" was created for the Contemporary Art Auction by Maitre Pierre Cornette de Saint Cyr held in October 2011, in Paris, France. 

I was so honored to be apart of the art auction amongst masters of contemporary art like; Dave Lachapelle, Andy Warhol, Basquiat, etc.

This was one of the 3 paintings I completed for the auction. I was reading lots of articles at the time about the problems of bullying and the effects that it can have on a person. I wanted to create a painting that took on the issue, but also added the element of empowerment. I have always been a fan of classic fairy tales, and the story of Cinderella seemed perfect! I added my own fashion twist of coarse, and showed a confident Cinderella scrubbing away the evil names called to her by her step-sisters! This piece means a lot to me and is an absolute favorite of mine!

Look Who's Coming to Dinner

This was a fun warm up for a project! A chef character I did that was in the DWA Halloween film Scared Shrekless. Cooking scene with Gingy.
