SEAN W. SPELLMAN spent nearly a decade living and working in various American cities: Portland, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and now, the sleepy coastal town of Westerly, RI. He has crossed the country more than two dozen times, many of them solo trips, documenting his journeys in paintings, drawings, photographs, and song. These interpretations serve as self-proclaimed personal inspiration to keep moving and as conceptual documents of the many places a person might dream of calling home. His work has been featured in publications such as Dwell, Vogue, and Rolling Stone, and his painting and mural work can be experienced in boutique hotels, including Ceylon Sliders in southern Sri Lanka, Hotel Joaquin in Laguna Beach, Marram in Montauk and several Freehand Hotels, to name a few. His alter ego, Sgt Joe Roberts, has documented his own public art in locations from the Mojave to New Delhi.
