Welcome to the "Baggataway Saloon," where the titans of lacrosse coaching from the '70s, '80s, and '90s have gathered for a high-stakes poker game. Amidst the dimly lit, old-time saloon atmosphere, iconic figures like Brad Kotz & Del Dressel, Jim Brown, Gary Gait and stick-making Haudenosaunee legend Alfie Jacques watch from the walls.
At the table, legendary coaches Dick Edell, Bill Tierney, Roy Simmons Jr., Ace Adams, and a mysterious player strategize, while Henry Ciccarone, Tom Postel, Dick “Goose” Garber, Carl Runk, Dave Urick, Willie Scroggs, Richie Moran, and Jack Emmer are captivated by the unfolding drama. Behind the bar, the legendary referee Al Blau keeps a watchful eye on the action.
This has been the most fun project I’ve worked on so far!
Tango Cachaco
Oil on Canvas - 22x28
May 2025
Price: $3,900
Piece comes custom framed in a Oakwood frame
In the heart of Bogotá, a poignant scene unfolded where a spirited elderly couple were lost in the embrace of tango. This moment, captured in a photograph when me and my son were walking through the “Candelaria” neighborhood of Bogotá, became the inspiration for my painting.
The painting reflects the essence of the “Cachaco”, a sophisticated emblem of Bogotá's heritage from the 1940s and 1950s, characterized by elegance, formality, a distinctive demeanor and speech. The couple’s attire and grace embody the spirit of this cultural archetype, evoking memories of my own grandparents and uncles, who so beautifully represented the Cachaco lifestyle.
Tango, while often linked to Argentina, also holds a vital place in Colombian culture. In Colombia, tango reflects a passion for rhythm, movement, and emotion, integrated into social gatherings and festivals. Colombians appreciate tango not only for its steps and music but for its expression of life's joys and sorrows. Cities like Bogotá and Medellín host thriving tango clubs and studios, where enthusiasts connect over the dance. Dance events celebrate Colombian tango interpretations, showcasing its evolution across borders. Tango is viewed as a dance that becomes a language for personal stories, creating vibrant connections on the floor. Ultimately, tango is a life celebration that invites everyone to share in its allure and nostalgia.

Medicine Game Keepers
Oil on Canvas - 24x30
May 2025
Price: $1,900 (unframed)
This painting, inspired by the Native American reverence for Baggatway, or lacrosse, as "The Medicine Game," honors the sport's enduring legacy and its contemporary keepers. Under a dramatic red-orange sun, a band of natives on horseback gallop in the background, witnessing the powerful evolution of the game. In the middle and foreground, Mohawk natives and modern lacrosse players move in dynamic unison, their motion kicking up dust, bridging centuries and celebrating the unbroken spirit of this timeless sport. The entire scene is enclosed and embraced by a Haudenosaunee headdress, signifying the deep cultural roots and enduring respect for this sacred game.
Lacrosse, often called "the fastest game on two feet," boasts a rich history rooted in Native American culture. Originating centuries ago as a spiritual and ceremonial game known as "the Creator's Game" among Indigenous peoples across North America, it was used for healing, conflict resolution, and warrior training.
European settlers observed and later adapted the game, with French missionaries coining the name "lacrosse" due to the stick's resemblance to a bishop's crosier. In the U.S., the sport has seen a significant surge in popularity, particularly in recent decades. Once largely confined to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, lacrosse is now one of the fastest-growing sports at youth, high school, and collegiate levels nationwide, with professional leagues also gaining traction and exposure through major sports networks.

I was motivated to show the the proud spirit of a Palenquera in Cartagena. Rooted in San Basilio de Palenque, the first free town in the Americas, she embodies a legacy of strength and the rich, colorful tapestry of African influence in this historic city that is Cartagena.
Cartagena, Colombia, is a vibrant city rich in history and culture, known for its colonial architecture and Caribbean charm. It's a melting pot of musical influences like Vallenato and Cumbia, reflecting its African, Indigenous, and Spanish heritage. As the sun sets, salsa and tropical music invite everyone to dance and celebrate. In Cartagena, music is a vital expression of identity and community, creating unforgettable moments.

There is a small picturesque colonial town named "Villa de Leyva" about 4 hours Northeast of Bogota, Colombia that is nestled in the Andes mountains where the cool, crisp, clean air, the beautiful, friendly people, delicious foods and cobblestoned streets motivated me to do this painting. I tried to capture the town plaza and the beautiful "campesina" who was selling the most colorful and delicious pineapples, bananas, tomates de arbol, curuba, guanabana, freijoa, maracuya, papaya, mangoes and lulo while she had live chickens on her table to sell as well. If you are ever in Colombia, don't miss Villa de Leyva!
