Little Richard is the KING of ROCK+ROLL!

——-

In the early 1950’s, a young man named Elvis Presley captured the white, anglo gaze, and in turn, dominated mass media of the era. But do not for a second lose track of the birth of rock and roll; Big Mama Thornton. Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Little Richard. This is the base of the pyramid.

I am a maximallist painter, with a penchant for high keyed chromatics and crisp details. I find joy in figurative portraits, as well as still life objet and dramatic landscapes. Often, the three collide.
