When Sports Meets The Tribal Nature of Baseball Art

Sports art isn't just about the action. It's about the stories, emotions, and ideologies beneath the surface. The catcher, the swing, the stance.  They all say something more.  When I paint sports, I’m thinking about more than just the game. I think about how people connect to teams, players, and moments in ways that go deep. Sports art often reflects loyalty, identity, and even questions about fairness. That shows up in the way I paint, even when I’m not trying to say something specific.
