The Vanishing Roadside
For more than four decades I've painted America's disappearing roadside landscape—its glowing neon, quirky architecture, hand-crafted signs, and unforgettable Mom-and-Pop businesses.
These places once gave our highways their personality. Today, many have disappeared, replaced by a landscape that feels increasingly anonymous.
My paintings are both a celebration and a preservation of these uniquely American landmarks. Behind every motel, diner, gas station, and roadside attraction is a story of optimism, hard work, and independence—stories that deserve to be remembered.
Each painting is my way of keeping a small piece of that remarkable roadside culture alive.
