Thank you to my collectors, fans, followers, and friends who visited my studio at the Santa Monica Airport during @friezeofficial. Honored that my homage to the sublime Prince has found its home with one of my treasured collectors. I am inspired by the art that I saw at Frieze with my new friend @ara.oshagan and percolating with ideas that will soon hit the canvas. As you know if you stepped in my studio - my brushes are clean, my paints are ready, and the colors will soon flow. If you heard Purple Rain playing across the Santa Monica Airport on Sunday Eve at the closing of Frieze that was @18thstreetarts amazing Kevin and me pouring one out musically for Prince!
