Painting for the Green Bay Packers: My Art at Lambeau Field

Painting for the Green Bay Packers: My Art at Lambeau Field

One of the most rewarding experiences of my career was seeing my work displayed in Lambeau Field, a legendary stadium that embodies the passion, dedication, and creativity of football. Football, like art, is about emotion and movement, visible in every play on the field and every brushstroke on the canvas. Creating art for Lambeau Field allowed me to capture not just the history of the Packers but also the essence of what makes football so beautiful and inspiring. My love for the Packers goes way back to the 1960s, when I had a friend from Green Bay, and we spent a couple of weeks one summer hanging out at the practice field. Back then, you could sit on the bench with the players, chatting with legends like Ray Nitschke and Fuzzy Thurston.

A designer used my sports art to create a bedroom that felt calm but personal, not loud or distracting—just a reflection of the homeowner’s passion.

Skateboarder Art: More Than Tricks and Stunts

Skateboarder Art: More Than Tricks and Stunts

My painting of a skateboarder at Ventura Point captures more than motion; it’s about the pause. She’s standing on the promenade, looking at the waves. It’s not about showing off—it’s about soaking in the moment, the connection between land, sea, and wheels. That’s what skateboarding feels like: finding calm between the chaos.
