Mission Statement

It struck me recently that automotive art as a genre could be summed up largely as “pictures of cars and parts”.

It’s no wonder then, that automotive art, as a rule, is not in the living and dining rooms of well appointed homes.

My goal, is to create a series of art inspired first by great art itself – and only then exploring the automobile.
