The prolific and inspiring musician, Jack White, has left an indelible mark on me- in the best way possible. Painting is how I communicate- and painting about music is... kinda like apple-ing about oranges, you know? but, this is how I am capable of showing him respect and gratitude.

“Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the money in the world, all the colors in the palette, anything you want — that just kills creativity.” - Jack White in a 2010 documentary Under Great White Northern Lights. I thought about this a lot when I was struggling with a chronic mystery illness- I needed to create as much as I possibly could. NOW!

“Great work comes from great joy. Leave the angst for the movies; do art – that is fun.” - Jack White. Aye aye, captain!
