One of my primary objectives is to create illustrations inspired by my time in the military, as well as create works requested by fellow service members and dedicated to collaborating with fellow veterans, even in other branches after my service.
The Denver Art Museum
In the video featured on the Home Page, I, along with other veterans, had the privilege of displaying our artwork at the Denver Art Museum during the winter season of 2025-2026. Our exhibit was themed, Beyond the Military: From Combat to Canvas."My painting, titled "Change of Command Ceremony onboard CVN-77," is an acrylic piece on a 36" x 48" gallery canvas, inspired by one of my original photos taken while I was deployed in 2011. If you would like to view the works of fellow veteran artists involved in the exhibition, please follow this link.
Contact me if you are interested in me painting another 36 x 48 as there is a current interest of my oriinal painting possibly getting sold. Prints will soon be available through my Online Store.
