TURN THE MUSIC THAT SHAPED YOUR LIFE INTO ORIGINAL ART.
Music becomes part of who we are. It reminds us of a first concert, a relationship, a road trip, a parent, a place, or simply a moment in time when we felt joy… felt free.
The On The Record series transforms vintage vinyl records into one-of-a-kind collage artworks celebrating the artists, albums and songs that that are beautifully woven into our lives.
I worked as a Creative Director for over 30 years, listening for insights and creating thoughtfully in order to develop big ideas for major brands.
I’m looking for the connection. Why the artists matter. The memories and feelings that come rushing back. The defining songs and eras.
Every commission begins with a 15 minute conversation—not a commitment. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase.
An anniversary gift for a lifelong John Lennon fan.
The piece needed to celebrate John—not The Beatles—while carefully balancing their place in his story. For one spouse Yoko Ono was essential to Lennon’s life; for the other, she symbolized the end of the Beatles.
The artwork features a more serious later-years portrait of John on the Imagine album label within a peace sign motif. Around him are glimpses of his journey: the lads in Sgt. Pepper’s wardrobe, young greaser John, the white piano from Imagine, and a subtle nod to the Bed-In for Peace with Yoko.
Every project begins with music, but it always ends with someone's personal relationship with the musician.
