The most descriptive lyrics were used to help create the 2019 collection of paintings. Two or more versions of each lyric were painted, using a variety of painting styles.

Five paintings from the collection did not utilize the 2015 song lyrics. A new song “ONE LITTLE SPARK” was written about the fire at Notre Dame and interpreted in two paintings. Three other paintings were created using the leftover paint from each week. These three paintings all share the same concept “French Kiss”.

Many thanks to my bandmates, Jon Wakeman and Pierre Roberson for adding another level of rhythm to the music. My deepest appreciation to my family and friends, whose personal lives often become the driving concept for my lyrics.

“Art is the center of everything. It is what makes buildings last beyond their purpose, it is what helps us to understand the simplicities hidden within complex ideas.”
