Whispers from the Mojave | Art Exhibitions in Downtown Las Vegas

I’m incredibly excited (and a little emotional) to finally share my latest collection, “Whispers from the Mojave,” now on view at JRNY Gallery in Las Vegas from August 1 to 30.

This series is made up of 15 digital illustrations, each one honoring a native animal from the Mojave Desert. But this project is more than just a tribute to the land — it’s a reflection of the quiet messages we often overlook, both in nature and within ourselves.

Each piece combines clean lines and earthy tones with words that came to me like whispers — soft truths that I hope speak to your soul as much as they spoke to mine.

Setting up the show has been a journey in itself. The gallery is ready and glowing, and I had the joy of doing it all with my son by my side. You’ll see some photos of us together in the space — it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever, and one I’m so happy to share with you.

Every animal in this collection carries a message. Some about strength. Some about stillness. All of them about listening — really listening — to what’s inside.

If you’re in Las Vegas this August, I’d love for you to come see the collection in person.

Plus, I am so happy to be the 1st local digital artist in the JRNY Gallery.

It’s free to visit, and it means the world to me.
