Creative Services

I like making music and painting racecars.

From being a church organist since the fifth grade, I became quickly aware of the beauty of music and the emotions it can influence by different instruments and sounds. My clients express the emotions and impacts that are going for….. cheers or tears… and I’ll write a piece that will give “goosebumps” (or final payment not expected). Let’s hear it for getting goosebumps!

I paint racecars. I started with super-modified racecars from Oswego Speedway having been on the pit crew of the Steve Gioia, Jr. Racing Team with great success and exposure. I tried other forms of art, i.e. animals, still life, but everything ended up with wheels on them, so I realized I had a specific niche. I take a lot of pictures on site to get the details and different angles.

My corporate life and global travels limited my painting for a while, but I got re-inspired at a triathlon hosted by NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson Foundation. I took out my brushes and was proud that his Foundation was able to get a significant bid at his silent auction. The painting was a 30″ x 40″ oil on canvas titled “A Very Special Seven.”  There are no reproductions of that piece. While Jimmie finished ahead of me in the triathlon, I evolved my racecar painting business to include racing “wheels” painting and now doing cycling and triathlons.
