About The Artwork
November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970 Cause of Death: Asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates When I contemplated how I wanted to portray Jimi Hendrix for his role in my solo show, The 27 Club, I started my research by listening to his music. My initial intention was for his canvas to have a similar look to Kurt Cobain’s. However after listening to his song Freedom, I was gripped! Here I was creating an exhibit showing about fame, addiction, and death when this man was singing about Freedom. I scraped my original plan and decided to focus on this title of his song. What did freedom mean to Hendrix? Was it freedom from the addictions that plagued him and ultimately killed him. Was it freedom for his country that he displayed at Woodstock when he played the Star Spangled Version? Was it freedom as a black man during the civil rights movement? This song is considered one of his most self actualized pieces that he ever wrote. It is also one of two songs released posthumous. If only he could have found freedom… Freedom: The state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.

Historians use the art of written words to tell stories of the past. Artists use physical art itself. As someone who struggles to articulate words, I use art to tell stories and observations of icons, both past and present, and their profound impact on history and culture. How their words, songs, movies, poems, and quotes speak to the plight of human existence. Often mistaken for screen prints, the portraits themselves, always shown in black and white, are hand painted using acrylic. Each background varies between two studies of the icon. One look focuses on the color aura of the icon using a palette knife technique. The other is a mixed media patchwork study, telling stories about the icon, their journey, and legacy.
