Midcentury Nation Park Roadtrip

Now available and on view at the J Willott Gallery in Palm Desert:

"Afternoon Pit Stop," oil on panel, 24x30," 2025

Last May, my family and I rented a camper van and toured the magnificent National Parks of Utah and Arizona: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, and Monument Valley among others.  I kept thinking how striking these destinations must have been for the first automobile travelers, driving in their Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles, staying at roadside motels in those early days of the interstate highway system. I thought what a cool series that would make: a Midcentury National Park Roadtrip.

Joshua Tree Painting

Here’s another brand new painting that I just delivered to the J. Willott Gallery in Palm Desert: Joshua Tree Visit, oil on canvas, 32x44,” 2025. Living so close to the National Park, I’m pretty fortunate to be surrounded by such natural beauty. I try to visit as often as possible, taking in the massive boulders, lush fields of trees, and the little critters you see here and there. I tried to capture some of that in this scene reminiscent of classic Americana road trips.

New Painting at J. Willott Gallery

I’m working on brand new paintings for the J. Willott Gallery in Palm Desert, CA and here is the first: Palm Springs Porsche, oil on canvas, 32x44,” 2025. This large painting features a dynamic butterfly-roofed midcentury home in Palm Springs, with a classic Porsche 912 in the carport. Stop by the gallery today to see it in person.

Summer Work

I hope everyone is enjoying a nice, relaxing Summer. I’ve been busy in the studio working on some upcoming paintings that I’m really excited about. I plan on having a wide series of work available in the Fall at the J. Willott Gallery in Palm Desert. These new pieces will predominantly be large format and feature a variety of locations, all anchored in my midcentury world. Follow me on social media to see previews and get the latest announcements!

"Suburban Scenes" Show Closing

A big thank you to everyone who came out to see my Suburban Scenes show on view at the Billis Williams Gallery! This show has been a work in progress for years, as many of these painting locations are areas I used to live in and around as a kid. The seeds were planted early, with themes of Suburban life developing over the decades and culminating in this body of work.

"Suburban Scenes" Solo Show

I'm proud to announce my upcoming solo show at the Billis Williams Gallery: Suburban Scenes.  This series is an examination of life in West Coast midcentury suburbia and its ubiquitous imagery that still reflects the idyllic American landscape.  Revisiting neighborhoods I spent time in decades ago, I tried to approach the subject with fresh eyes and a seasoned mindset.  Join me at the opening reception on Saturday May 3rd, 2-5pm, to see the paintings in person and hear a little more about all that went into this show.  To sign up for the collector's preview, please email the Billis Williams Gallery at gallery@billiswilliams.com.

Exhibition Statement:

“My latest series is an examination of life in West Coast midcentury suburbia and its ubiquitous imagery that still reflects the idyllic American landscape.  Although devoid of any literal human life, these painted “scenes” act as the backdrop of the human experience: the day to day routines centered on home, lifestyle, and leisure.  They distill daily post-war suburban life into snapshots – or even memories – of a place and time; however, they are all based on real life locations found today.  In each painting, one can feel the warmth of the afternoon sun, smell freshly cut grass lawns, and hear the idle of a neighbor’s hulking classic car in the driveway.  This series seeks to capture the various elements that compose the fabric of the suburban setting: vintage folding chairs in unique color palettes, kidney shaped swimming pools, post and beam tract architecture, and even popular cars from the pinnacle of America’s automotive age.   Bold, geometric compositions help to highlight these features, alluring the viewer to enter these aspirational spaces and claim them as their own.  For these are not just personal scenes for the artist, who started his career capturing these same neighborhoods nearly two decades ago.  Rather, they are also conduit for the viewer to tap into their own nostalgia, of a place and time from their past or a place and time they always wanted to be.”
