Vegas Painter

About Me

I own a contemporay fine art gallery, called DUST,in Downtown Las Vegas. That's just one facet of my involvement with the arts. I also make my living as an artist, focusing mainly on the lights and signage of Las Vegas.I also love food and wine. Dinner and drinks with my friends keep me going.My 3 year old son Julian is the greatest thing in my life and he has taught me what it is to truly love and humbles me on a level I've never known. Humble is not my normal state of being. ;)

My Interests

My son! Fine art, especially contemporary painting and sculpture Fine dining Wine Vintage Vegas. ********** "There comes a time when every man feels the urge to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats." H. L. Mencken

I'd like to meet:

People interested in the fine arts, especially collectors of any level; from those taking home their first artwork all the way up to corporate collectors. Lovers of wine and good food. Anyone who digs Vegas, especially the steadily revitalizing Downtown. ******I'm a social cat and all, but if I don't already know you and you request a friend add, drop me a note introducing yourself. I probably will deny if you don't. Thanks!
