Artist's statement follows:
“Navel Gazing has provided for me an opportunity to present the state of Florida as a Mechanical Paradise – a haven for the biking culture – riders, designers and just fans. Over many years, I have been a frequent Florida tourist, from visiting friends and family, having art shows, and finally attending motorcycle rallies. Eventually for me, Florida evolved into a land of sun, clouds, blue skies and reflective, chrome metallic surfaces that gave inspiration for much of my motorcycle artwork.”

Included in the exhibit are several of my bike paintings and also a new series of portraits of six Florida chopper designers. A catalog of the exhibition will be available at the book signing. The show will be up from January 30 – April 11 and then will travel.
