I’m excited to share that my Corvette art, MOMENTUM, which features CREATION and EVOLUTION, was seen in the New York Times as part of a feature article on America’s Sports Car titled “Corvette Bucked a Sports Cars Decline. Can It Thrive in an E.V. Era?” Also featured is my AMERICA painting of a Harley-Davidson chopper from 2016.

Social Station Kitchen & Cocktails is now open in Henderson, at Eastern and W Horizon Ridge Pkwy in the outer corner of the Smith’s Center. The name alludes to the fact that the restaurant is non-gaming and allows for interactions between guests without the distraction of noisy gaming machines.
Long before artificial intelligence consumed all conversations related to the blurred line of assisted creativity, artists had often found themselves at the center of the question, “How is art defined?” Art, whether a sculpture, painting, photograph, theatrical production, or film, is inherently subjective and interpreted only through the eyes of the individual viewing it at that given moment.
