During her career she was owned by “Commodore” E. C. Benedict, a friend and confidant of President Grover Cleveland. Benedict’s yacht served as an impromptu hospital on which doctors performed a secret operation to remove cancerous growth from President Cleveland’s upper jaw on 1 July 1893 as the ship cruised in the East River.
Each piece of my art has historical significance, so there is always a unique and fascinating story to tell about the painting. In today’s world of mass produced “sameness” there was a time when we created modes of transportation that were functional but also works of art. I take these unique and beautiful objects and place them where they were seen and shined in the past.
