St. Jude’s big event — An Affair of the Art – was spectacular. This sixth annual event was classy and well attended – as is fitting for such a worthwhile cause.
Earlier this Spring, I was honored to have shared my St. Jude sculpture, “The Things We Do for Love…” with L’Vegue Vegas magazine readers. For those unfamiliar with L’Vegue, it is a beautifully designed Las Vegas Art & Fashion Magazine.
