Anthony Kiedis

My latest painting is a tribute to Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I believe he has a unique voice that spurs young men into action with the ability to shepherd them through dangerous places. This painting explores that idea.

The Black Swan: A Tribute to Amy Winehouse

The danger of commemorating an artist like Amy is that there is a tendency to dismiss her talent because of the way she lived and died. I believe she is England's rose and God made her to shine eternally for Him. In this painting I explore these themes.
