​​​Art is more than just a visual experience. It should be an entire sensory journey, one that gives pause for thought, moves the viewer, and ultimately make a lasting impression. As an Industrial Renegade Pop Mixologist, I combine a variety of techniques and styles in my art. There are elements of abstract, portraiture, pop art, street art, graffiti, expressionism, and mixed media in my work. It is through a balance of these techniques that I portray the rawness and energy of my subjects and the music that inspires me. 

 

Music in general and rock music specifically has played a role in my life from a young age. My art celebrates not only musical legends, but also the story behind their music. The impetus for a song, the personal story of the musician, and the impact of the music all play major roles in creating a musical legacy. It is through my art that I look to capture significant moments, legendary performances, and symbolic statements that captures the essense of the icon.

 

As you peruse my site, I ask you to consider that rock and roll is more than just music. While some might suggest that it is a way of life or a persona, I would suggest that is an attitude that encompasses a certain mindset, energy, and swagger. Whether it is other musicians, actors or historical figures, all of my subjects convey a larger than life “badassness”; legends who have that rock star vibe.

 

I hope that you join me on the journey into my world of rock and roll inspired art. I welcome all of you and thank you for taking the time to visit my site.  

​

Cheers and enjoy!
