National Corvette Museum 2024 Annual Report
I am truly honored to share that my Corvette artwork, “MOMENTUM,” which I meticulously created for inclusion in the prestigious National Corvette Museum as part of the LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Paintings exhibit, is now featured prominently in their esteemed 2024 Annual Report. This recognition marks a significant milestone in my artistic journey and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
Over the course of this past year and a half, my celebration of America’s beloved Sports Car has transformed into a remarkable journey filled with creativity, inspiration, and passion. The inclusion of MOMENTUM in the Museum’s comprehensive timeline is not just an honor; it is an epic gesture that reinforces the rich history and culture surrounding this iconic automobile. Every brushstroke I made has been a tribute to the legacy of the Corvette, and to see it acknowledged in such a significant way is truly heartwarming.
"One of the most exciting highlights in 2024 was LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Painting in our newly reimagined Limited Engagement Gallery. This stunning exhibition inspired guests with its masterful artistry, celebrating the beauty of automobiles in ways that feel almost photographic."
By combining the Corvette legacy with fresh, forward-thinking perspectives, THE Corvette Museum aims to create exhibitions and galleries that resonate deeply with its visitors, leaving them inspired and eager to return. The excitement felt in their galleries last year was a testament to that mission—and to the passion and dedication of the entire National Corvette Museum team.
For their passion and dedication to celebrate the legacy of Corvette, they are hugely appreciated.

Beyond its display as an integral part of the museum tour and the accompanying extended stay, the creation of MOMENTUM has been a genuinely fantastic and transformative journey in its own right. Throughout this process, I have meticulously chronicled my experiences and insights through a detailed timeline posted on this website, capturing each significant milestone from the project’s inception to the present moment. This journey has not only allowed me to explore the depths of creativity and dedication but has also provided opportunities for reflection and growth.
