Art That Makes You Feel Good

Photo of Goran Perovic, manager of Sci Sci, and I today.  

I love dancing and Miami is a great place to enjoy lots of different types. Last week I took my first tango lesson with Diane Castro, who is an excellent teacher who is really articulate and provides a wealth of information about tango. She teaches at the Coconut Grove Ballet Center (2829 Bird Ave., Miami, [...]

 New photos from Vlada Bar – ‘Vlada Lounge’ painted specifically for my show at Vlada Bar, Elena and Zip at the opening, and ‘Bootycall’.
