Painting for the Minnesota Vikings at US Bank Stadium
Painting for the Minnesota Vikings was a surreal experience, especially seeing one of my works projected onto the Jumbotron—a massive moment for an artist. Art and football share a unique power: they let us lose ourselves in a moment and find connection, whether it’s on the field or in front of a canvas. My wife’s Minnesota roots keep us visiting often, and the state’s landscapes inspire my work. The connection between art and place is always alive for me.
Brushstrokes and Basketballs: The Art Behind the Perfect Shot
In this painting, I aimed to freeze the precise moment when everything hangs in the balance—the second before a basketball player makes that crucial shot. The vibrant turquoise background contrasts sharply with the warm colors of the basketball, drawing attention to the center of the action. Dashes and splatters mirror the chaotic, unpredictable nature of both basketball and art. This piece isn’t just about the game itself, but about seizing a moment. Whether on the court or in the studio, every decision holds weight. The gripping hand represents control, determination, and the willingness to take a risk, knowing that growth comes from every attempt—whether you succeed or not.
