Raiding the Rock Vault, voted Best of Las Vegas 2014 by the Las Vegas Review-Journal Poll, is a no-holds-barred rock spectacular, featuring riffs, solos and harmonies from world-renowned rock musicians of the 60s, 70s, and 80s: in short, the Rock Vault presents CLASSIC ROCK BY THOSE WHO ROCKED IT!
Ellis Island Casino & Brewery was the place to be last evening if you like cold brews and BBQ, as they hosted BrewBQ to benefit Three Square Food Bank here in Las Vegas.
This was my first beer & tequila experience – okay, not really, but my first, at least with Lee’s at the LVH (formerly the Hilton). And as far as experiences go, this one was great. Like other recent celebration events with libation, Vegas-style, this one was one big party. This well-established event drew a massive crowd of passionate beer and tequila lovers and fans.
Art and life are all about birth, rebirth, and beauty. That’s why this drawing is special (for me anyway). LOTUS represents a lot of change for both my muse and for me as an artist. LOTUS tells the story of transformation – turning life’s hard times and challenges into a thing of beauty, and the overcoming of obstacles that can sometimes detour or distract us from true happiness.
This past Saturday, Downtown Las Vegas hosted the 2014 Great Vegas Festival of Beer. For a few great hours, the parking lot just across the street from Container Park became the biggest beer party in Vegas (and Vegas hosts some big parties).
Join me at BMW Motorcycles of Las Vegas for their annual Spring Open House to celebrate the new 2014 model lineup and meet special guest five-time land speed record holder Valerie Thompson.
Once again, Arizona Bike Week rocked the southwest in the true spirit and style of riders and enthusiasts alike. This past couple of weeks, BIKE WEEK celebrated its 18th year of motorcycles and the lifestyle around the biker’s passion and culture.
The LIFE CUBE is about connecting art and community in downtown Las Vegas and around the world. It’s pretty cool, really. A walk-thru, interactive experience, with murals from local artists, writing boards, and dramatic lighting at night. Artists have been working on the CUBE for the last month or so. I’ve seen it a couple of times as it’s progressed and chatted with artists who’ve painted on it.
Saturday evening, Genevieve Dew, the lady with the golden pipes, performed her tribute show to legendary Billie Holiday at the Santa Fe Stations Hotel and Casino ~ Chrome Ballroom, Las Vegas, NV. This lady sings the blues. She’s really more than that. Her Billie Holiday tribute show is awesome. I know Genevieve a little and have heard her perform at other venues, but this one was special.
Take a great evening, fantastic cigars, live music, and a beautiful body-painted model; you have the ingredients for an awesome time in Vegas. Friday was En Fuego Cigar & Lounge’s Second Anniversary Party, and it was a blast!
Celebrating Life Through Art. Your lifestyle. Your Art. Enduring and timeless, my original paintings preserve and celebrate my ideals of abundance and a zest for life.
Enduring and timeless, my original paintings preserve and celebrate my ideals of beauty and honor the grace, strength, and complexity of the female spirit. I direct my creative energies at producing epic original fine art nude and figurative artworks on specially prepared canvas, metal, and mixed media. Most are painted life-size and larger, featuring a contemporary approach to the time-honored figurative and art nude genres. My imagery bursts out of traditional art forms, leaving viewers appreciating its beauty, detail, and sensual nature.
