“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.
