Chasing Picasso

This drawing of mine, ‘Muse of Mougins’ was inspired by a stay at a collector of mine’s villa in the French Riviera.  I was so inspired, I sketched this while I was there.

This sold at my 2013 'Dreams, Fashion & Fairy Tales' Exhibition at Galerie Arludik in Paris, France

Bluebird Cafe Dreams Painting

Bluebird Café Dreams

18” x 26” (45.72 x 66.04 cm)

'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!

La Belle et la Bete

The early sketch for this drawing has lingered in my sketchbook for 2 years just waiting to be realized. I finally found a perfect moment for it in my upcoming exhibit in Paris at Galerie Arludik. I love the fairytale of Beauty & The Beast and I love the emotion conveyed in this drawing.

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! 

Always a story...

^{When I paint, I often have many meanings behind each painting. There is always a story…}

^{My painting “Snake Charmer,” is about regaining our power, conquering our fears and ownership of ourselves as powerful sexual beings. The Snake symbolizes the chains of our past. The woman in the painting is no longer a victim and has suppressed her fears and used confidence and sexuality to seduce her captive.}

^{This was another painting that I exhibited and sold at Art Monaco 11 in Monaco, at the Grumaldi Forum in 2011.  This was an honor to show in Monaco. I was happy it got the love and attention back! It’s a favorite of mine!}
