Travelling Route 66 before Interstates provides me a unique perspective to the Mother Road. I’ve crisscrossed the country on its pavement, stopped at most of its attractions, and lived on the road for several years in downtown Albuquerque near the Kimo Theater. Later, in 2015, Greg Disch and I journeyed with intention to the most colorful and iconic locations. It was fun staying at the Blue Swallow Motel.

A year later, in 2016, I celebrated these images in a solo show in Fayetteville, and in 2021 an image from this series was awarded Best of Show during the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum’s Invitational call for art.
