Thank You Corvette Museum
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.

MOMENTUM 100 Day Countdown
If you have not yet visited the National Corvette Museum, it’s time! My diptych painting, MOMENTUM, featuring a 1953 and a 2023 Corvette, is still on display through the end of 2025. I created this epic creation in celebration of Corvette’s seventieth anniversary as part of the LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automotive and Motorcycle Paintings Exhibit, which ran from March 15, 2024, through January 5, 2025.

Portland • Las Cruces • Bowling Green — I am incredibly excited to share that this weekend, for the very first time ever in my artistic journey, my art is featured at three distinct and captivating exhibits, each taking place at different and unique venues across the United States. This incredible opportunity not only showcases my work in a way that I have long dreamed of but also allows me to connect with diverse audiences and fellow art enthusiasts in a deeply meaningful way.

Beauty in the Abstract: A.D. Cook and Hyper-Realism Art
Long before artificial intelligence consumed all conversations related to the blurred line of assisted creativity, artists had often found themselves at the center of the question, “How is art defined?” Art, whether a sculpture, painting, photograph, theatrical production, or film, is inherently subjective and interpreted only through the eyes of the individual viewing it at that given moment. The viewer consumes and digests the art, not as a computer program might with cold ones and zeros, but through the filter of their memories, experiences, and opinions formed over many years or seconds before their eyes reach the canvas.

Myself, 14 other artists, 60+ paintings intermingled with these beautiful cars will be set up and on display through the end of the year. Come on down to the National Corvette Museum. The exhibit is now upon. It’s an awesome show, so come down and check it out.
