Guitars That Give Back

I am honored to have had the opportunity to paint guitars for charity fundraising projects for legendary bands such as Dead and Company, Twenty One Pilots, Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, Paul Weller, and Dolly Parton. By collaborating with these fantastic musicians and organizations such as HeadCount and OSU Cancer Research, we have been able to auction these guitars and raise significant funds for charitable causes.

Ronnie Wood & Paul Weller

I painted and donated this owl themed guitar, which was signed by Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones and Paul Weller of The Jam. The auction helped raise funds for programs supporting young performers at The Roundhouse in London. Backstage at the Rolling Stones show in Cleveland - the heart of rock ’n’ roll - I had the privilege of meeting the legendary Ronnie Wood and his wonderful wife, Sally. The entire Rolling Stones band also signed the Red Floral Telecaster, which was auctioned for charity.
