Destination - Thinking of When in Palm Springs

This vibrant painting perfectly captures the retro glamour and desert cool of Palm Springs. With a bold, sun-soaked backdrop and the iconic “Welcome to Palm Springs” sign lit in neon hues, it radiates mid-century modern nostalgia. Framed by towering palms and radiant sunbursts, the composition draws your eye downward to a stylish cocktail party scene featuring sharply dressed figures with martinis in hand — a nod to the city’s legendary social scene.

In the background, jagged purple mountains meet a minimalist mid-century modern home, tying in the architectural legacy of Palm Springs. The playful pastel palette, stylized figures, and geometric layout all echo the spirit of Shag-style art, while the handwritten caption along the bottom — “Drinking again and thinking of when” (Frank Sinatra Lyrics)— adds a dreamy, wistful touch.

This piece is both a tribute to the desert’s golden era and a celebration of timeless leisure, ideal for collectors of pop art, retro design, or California-cool iconography.

The 'Destination Series' uses a quilt, color blocking look, and is done with paint and wood stain. This surf art was painted on wood originally, and depicts surf scenes from around the world. Some are often real, while others are made up from my mind. Let me know if you have any questions on the concept or meaning behind the surf art, I am always happy to discuss my inspirations with you!
