Of Guts and Glory explores a moment from the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona. Featured are the Ford Mark II, the Ferrari 250, and a peek of the Porsche 906. Space and time blur as momentum and drive push ever on.

Artist's Statement:

Driving for me is about freedom. This isn’t about how it looks but how it feels. Power, anticipation, exhilaration: to slip through on the edge of control. It’s finding that line between forward and stillness. Just like in the paintings, speed blurs the world as your focus is sharpened, spirit is calmed as you burn through space. This work is about freedom to be in a moment. It’s an energy that pushes every onward. This is Momentum.
