THE STORY BEHIND THE PAINTINGS

At the beginning of the COVID Pandemic I released a series of small LEGO brick paintings under the theme of “Staying Connected”. It was my way of bringing some light into a year that was full of uncertainty and distance. The response was amazing and humbling. By year end I had painted nearly 100 pieces. I donated a portion of each sale to Feeding America and through your support was able to provide over 3000 meals to those in need. Series 2 aims to keep that energy going!

Each of these laser cut paintings in Series 2 is approximately 9”x12”. The initial two color variants are Black on Black and White on White. These first two are open editions offered for $500 each. Subsequent variants, like Pink on Orange and Mint Chocolate, are limited editions offered for $500 each. Only 4 of each of these limited color variants will be available to the public – signed and numbered. So when they’re gone, that’s it. Each month I’ll be releasing new limited edition color variants.

I was blown away by your response to the release of the Series 1 - Stay Connected paintings last year. That support made a huge difference in my life and the lives of others. Despite us all being a little worn out from the challenges of last year I really want to keep that same incredible energy going and keep paying it forward with these new collectible pieces. I will continue to donate a portion of the proceeds of every sale to @feedingamerica. This is a tireless group that elevates the plight of hungry families and fights hunger through a robust and dedicated nationwide network of food banks, school-based food pantries and emergency disaster relief services.

Stay strong and stay connected out there my friends. Your efforts and support keep me inspired, and that means the world to me. All the best from my studio, and as always thanks for the art love.
