Donations and News
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 the music festival guitars for Dave Mathews Band, Phish and Luke Bryan. I have also painted guitars for many other smaller & local bands. By collaborating with these fantastic musicians, and with organizations such as HeadCount and OSU cancer research, we have been able to auction these guitars and raise significant funds for charitable causes. It is my passion to use my art to make a difference in the world and contribute to the greater good.
I painted and donated this Owl design guitar that was signed by Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, and Paul Weller of the Jam. This auction raised funds that were donated programs to support young performers at The RoundHouse in London.
