Happy 100th birthday route 66

---

In 2026, legendary Route 66 will celebrate its 100th birthday. Millions of people have sought freedom and adventure, and often a new life, by traveling West on America’s first great highway. 

In the 1940s to ‘60s, eye-catching signs guided travelers to mom-and-pop cafes for burgers and pie, to service stations for 30 cents-a-gallon gas, and to modest motels for a good night’s rest.  I was inspired by a recent road trip to recreate the experience of driving along Route 66 during its heyday.  My new series of vibrant neo-retro oil paintings and limited edition prints on canvas immortalize Route 66 and celebrate its centennial. 

A portion of Route 66 artwork sales will support an official grant program to help revitalize and sustain Route 66 as a national and international destination. Visit https://route66centennial.org
