Allegiance: 2025 Art Drop
I would love to extend an invitation to you and your family Thursday June 27th—Just one week before The Fourth of July—-for an evening of drinks, appetizers, music, and a journey through America’s visual past. I will be debuting my newest art collection, Allegiance, at the HAEC building in Huntington, Indiana from 5pm to 8pm.
Here is what to expect:
This new collection isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about endurance. It asks: what parts of America’s past are worth holding onto, and what must we leave behind? Allegiance is an invitation to explore the spaces between memory and reinvention.
Inspired by forgotten roadside motels, jukebox diners, county fairgrounds, and rusting industrial towns. It tells the story of a country in motion, constantly reinventing itself.
Each piece weaves together fragments of American life, layering history, culture, and identity into a tactile, mixed-media experience. Using found materials, vintage imagery, torn advertisements, old road maps, and rusted textures, each collage acts as a scrapbook of a nation in flux.
Allegiance represents memory and meaning. It explores the tension between past and present, between the romanticized American dream and the reality of a changing landscape. Some pieces may evoke the warmth of a 1950s soda shop, while others reveal of forgotten dreams. Viewers are invited to piece together their own version of Americana—what is remembered, what is lost, and what is reimagined.
At its heart, this collection will be a tribute to the textures of time and blending personal with collective memory into a visually striking, emotional body of work.
