Hard Rock Live

Melissa Etheridge consistently gives 110% of herself in a performance...last night was no different.  I was lucky enough to be sitting 8th row center at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida and had an AMAZING experience, immersing myself in her soulful rock 'n roll style!  She pours everything she's got into her music, easily seducing the audience with her bold and expressive voice.  Melissa is easily one of the greatest all-time female rock icons, I personally find her inspiring and I love that she is not only a mother and cancer survivor (8 years and counting), but also an outspoken cultural, political and human rights activist, and a longtime truth-seeker. About 9 years ago, I was lucky enough to present her with this painting, which she autographed and holds a very special place in my personal art collection and heart.

Someone Like You

Although clouded by the untimely passing of Whitney Houston, Adele SWEPT the 2012 Grammy's! Adele was awarded 6 golden gramophone statues including song of the year and record of the year! She has been one of my favorite voices in the last few years since I first heard her! It's hard to describe how much music inspires me....sometimes I just hear something and it fills me up. Luckily for me, I can show my appreciation and homage outwardly with paint and a brush! I wish Adele all the best as she is well on her way to becoming one of the most winning (and talented) British Female Artists! Go her!! This piece was commissioned last March. It is a 36" x 36" original acrylic paint on canvas. Currently residing in Boston! I always feel such a connection with each one of my paintings...I always like to know where they end up, and hopefully in warm and loving homes!! (Shout out...you know who you are!!)
