Looking Back. Going Forward. Continued Momentum.
It seems like only yesterday that I created my Corvette artwork, MOMENTUM, celebrating America’s Sports Car, through two exclusive original artworks prominently displayed at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, from March 2024 through November 2025.
In the Beginning
This journey would not have happened if not for David Wagner’s call one day, suggesting the LUSTER Exhibition, which I was part of with a selection of my motorcycle artworks, had a pending invitation to exhibit at the National Corvette Museum. LUSTER had already been hosted at several major museums over the previous six years, but for me, hearing that the Corvette Museum was considering hosting the exhibit was like icing on the cake.
As an avid lifelong Corvette enthusiast, I could not be more excited than at the prospect of my art hanging at the Corvette Museum. I’ve loved Corvettes since I was a kid, and I drove a black C4 as my daily driver during my Hollywood Video years as their art director and muralist.
To this day, I still love Corvettes, and pause when I see something special at the local car shows. So, when David’s call suggested an epic experience at the Corvette Museum, I didn’t hesitate for a minute. David’s offer came with a condition, though… to seal the deal, the Museum wanted a Corvette artwork to round out the show. It seemed only right, after all, to feature America’s Sports Car art at the Corvette Museum. That is, in a nutshell, how MOMENTUM’s journey began.
But the invitation to create an epic artwork was just the beginning. My next move was to develop concept sketches and draw on my inspiration to find a couple of muses: a first-generation Corvette C1 and a current C8 beast to fulfill my vision of Corvette’s journey.
MOMENTUM features two epic paintings with CREATION and EVOLUTION, designed to hang together but can also be displayed separately. Each tells the story of Corvette’s 70 years as America’s Sports Car and celebrates the Corvette Museum’s 30th Anniversary.
These artworks are now available for purchase directly from the artist.
