I am honored to have been a part of The Kentucky Artisan Center's show in Berea, KY

225 : Artists Celebrate Kentucky's History

The show was beautiful and remained in place for 6 months to celebrate Kentucky's 225th anniversary of statehood. The show included a wide range of work and illustrated our state's rich history from the 18th century to the present.

I'm also happy to say that I sold all three paintings.

The Murder of Captain Abraham Lincoln

In 2008, I was commissioned to work on this very large project for the city of Springfield, Kentucky in Washington County: I embarked upon an extensive research into the clothing, arms, and way of life of early Kentucky settlers as well as the many accountings of this event which occurred in the late 18th century. Local people were used as models and a local landowner in the Beech Fork River Valley, where the Lincoln family once lived, allowed the use of his property to set up the reenactment/photoshoot for this project. The resulting painting is inspired from a compilation of the many stories and myths depicting the death of Captain Abraham Lincoln. Washington county fiscal court owns the painting which was presented to the public in an unveiling ceremony in 2009. It measures 48'' x 60'' and now resides as a permanent installation in the Lincoln Legacy Museum located in the old courthouse in Springfield, Kentucky.
