I am a native Las Vegan and have been a practicing artist here for the past 12 years. I attended the University of Southern California from 1990-93. I have worked on projects with the City of Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Extreme Makeover:Home Edition tv show, The Contemporary Arts Collective, First Friday and many other local arts organizations and galleries. I was co-founder of DUST Gallery, one of the most respected art galleries in Las Vegas, showcasing many artists from Las Vegas and abroad. I have participated in several art fairs in New York and Miami, including the Affordable Art Fair and SCOPE.
My work has been featured in The Aerial Gallery (which I have also curated for the City) and The Centennial Murals project (creating one of the largest murals from the series). I have been commissioned to create works for several corporate collections in Las Vegas including Saks Fifth Avenue, The Howard Hughes Corporation, The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino and The Molasky Group of Companies. My work is also found in many local private collections as well as collections from around the country. I have donated many works to fundraising events in the community including The Nevada Cancer Institute, The Neon Museum, The CAC, Bishop Gorman College Preparatory High School, Olive Crest, First Friday and many others. My work has shown in DUST Gallery,The Fallout and most recently Henri & Odette gallery. In 2009 I was selected as “best local artist” in both The Las Vegas City Life & The Las Vegas Weekly going to back to back in the CityLife for 2010. Also in 2009 I created large murals for ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and The Las Vegas Neon Museum. |
