En Fuego Cigars, Las Vegas
The En Fuego Cigars & Lounge + Body Art + Art Event was a blast! Friday nights in Las Vegas are always fun, but this one took it up a notch. We painted. We laughed. We enjoyed fantastic cigars.

Artist Statement
Beauty inspires me. I seek grace in the lines and form of the female figure – to me, the ultimate beauty. There is nothing I would rather paint, and my art reflects that classical ideal.

The Art of Realism and Power of Passion
Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed creating realistic iconic imagery of a wide variety of passions in many different genres including those in motorcycle, automotive and aircraft. I portray these passions in epic original one-of-a-kind contemporary paintings on canvas and metal.
