Celebrating the Life and Promotion of Caden White
Like most parents, the passing of a child always seems so unfair and perplexing to me. From my perspective, it is an event in life which requires much more resilience from the family than our Read the rest of this entry »
When most people in America think of motorsports we think of racing. (After all man has been racing machines since the invention of the wheel.) We think of drag racing, Nascar, Motorcross, etc. We think of sports which require one competitor to beat others to the finish line. The key goal being that one goes faster, or navigates quicker. However, I am intrigued by an emerging array of what I view are more “artistic” forms of motorsports.
The specific motorsport I am exploring here today is the “sport” (art form) of Drifting. The key techniques of drifting have been developing in Japan for decades. However, it is just in the last several years that the motorsport has gained truly global appeal. In my opinion, it is one of a few emerging phenomenons which are ushering in a new artistic expression in motorsports. Read the rest of this entry »
White Show – Lawrence, KS
The show opening was a blast! What an amazing array of talent. I really feel honored to be in this show alongside such talent. With 90 pieces by 49 artists spanning 18 states plus Puerto Rico, patrons were sure to find something they enjoyed. This was my first show opening at the Signs of Life gallery in Lawrence, KS. I hope it is my first of many to come. The vision Clay Belcher and his team at Signs of Life have for the art space is exciting and if this show is any indication, it is a hit!

I know painters, sculptors, dancers, actors, writers, photographers, jewelers, musicians, architects, and more. We all express creativity in different ways, but my question today is, “Why?” Why do we create? Read the rest of this entry »

There are a lot of different quality artists involved. Among them are artists like TR Ericcson, Rex Hausmann, and others. (You will need to see the postcard for a list of all of the artists.)

I find the exploration of modern art forms really fascinating and parkour is no exception. The beauty and efficiency of motion is truly expressed in this emerging art form. Parkour really began in the 80s, with David Belle of France being credited as the founding father of the art/sport. The movement was building in Europe for some time until the films Jump London and the sequel Jump Britain gave this art form a global stage. Now you can find parkour and its spin-off, “free running,” groups in every major urban landscape. I find the fluid movement, as well as the sheer stamina required, inspiring. Like street dance, this form of creative movement has a gritty, raw feel which I find refreshingly authentic. Read the rest of this entry »
