My recent trip to Kentucky for the LUSTER exhibit at the National Corvette Museum left me in Corvette nirvana. While my visit was far too short, I savored every moment in good company, whether it was the southern hospitality, the stunning cars, or the gracious staff and crew.
The NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM shared some fantastic pictures of their new gallery, which showcases the LUSTER exhibit, and I could not resist sharing them with you. Beautifully shot just before the gala and exhibit premier, these pictures celebrate the beautiful art and cars adoring the museum through 2024.
Monet. Degas. Corvette. Thursday, March 14 // 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM — The LUSTER Exhibit was officially revealed to a community of Corvette designers, collectors, and enthusiasts at the National Corvette Museum.

“Remember, you must die,” says Memento Mori in Latin. That phrase reminds us of our mortality, mistakes and failures, and the inevitable transformation of life into death. It is something that humans are deeply aware of and what separates us from other species. It is a famous philosophical concept that dates back centuries and serves as a reminder that death is inevitable.
For 2024, the exhibit opens at the National Corvette Museum to the public on March 15 and will remain there through the end of the year. MOMENTUM, created special for exhibit features two epic paintings, CREATION and EVOLUTION, celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.

I was wakened late last night with the news that an old friend had passed away. It seems as we get older that this is an all too common occurrence. This is the reality of life – that we only have today.
My Corvette diptych was barely finished before shipping to the National Corvette Museum last week. I love the energy of MOMENTUM, my two new paintings celebrating Corvette’s legacy. So far, this project hasn’t stopped for a minute. And why should it? These are Corvettes. They are made to run and have done that for seventy years.
