Painting
Painting signage is one of my ways of communicating a shared response to a community, city or memory. My background in graphic design Instilled in me a natural attraction to signage, and my sense of nostalgia drew me to the vintage aesthetic. As an example, I painted the iconic signages of Grainbelt Beer and Gold Medal Flour because of there large present day significance both socially and financially to the region, not to mention the history behind the signs as well. This has inspired me to investigate further examples of signage and how they affect the communities they have come to represent. I connect with my audience and collectors though their memories and emotions from these sign histories. Our collective past though landmark vintage signage help enrich our present while keeping our collective identities to our cities neighborhoods. Enjoy the mere beauty of the 40’s 50’s 60’s signs or start remembering or investigating our past.
