29 Oct Recent Art Installation – Firepower for Freedom – Battleship New Jersey (BB-62) at Mission BBQ – Cherry Hill, NJ
We are sincerely grateful and honored William was commissioned to create a special painting for the fabulous Battleship New Jersey (BB-62) entitled Firepower for Freedom (36” x 48” – acrylic on canvas – beautifully framed with original USS New Jersey 1943 teak deck boards). This important, multi-layered painting was unveiled at the 2nd Annual Admiral Halsey Awards Dinner on May 11th, 2023, in Camden, NJ.

Recently, the Battleship New Jersey’s CEO, Marshall Spevak, stopped by (with other dignitaries) to present Mission BBQ with a reproduction of this painting to install in their new location in Cherry Hill, NJ. We are honored to have William’s artwork share the walls with photos of so many heroes for freedom.
We are truly grateful to creatively partner with the wonderful leadership at Battleship New Jersey and at Mission BBQ. Please know the photos above at Mission BBQ were taken by the Battleship New Jersey and others.
