Celebrating the Presidential achievements of Richard Milhous Nixon, bringing our heroic POW’s home. I want to say first that to be asked to do a painting for this momentous occasion was a very proud moment for me and my approach to this painting was to honor that moment. I wanted this painting to portray the joyous occasion this was. I want those that look upon The Hanoi Taxi flying away, as the sun sets on their imprisonment behind them to embrace that feeling, the emotions of each one of those soldiers and what it must have been like on the ground here to be a part of such an incredibly special homecoming.

FOUND:RE Contemporary and FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel are excited to announce the opening of their new exhibition, “Sleeping With the Artists.” This exhibition cycle will present the dynamic and visually stimulating work of 48 Arizona artists and capture the beauty and talent of our local community.
