Viva Las Vegas!

About a week ago (Sept 27 -30) I exhibited at the inaugural Artexpo Las Vegas, hosted in the fabulous Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. This will surely be counted as one of my most amazing exhibitions ever! With a buzz of excitement all around the clock and glitz and glamour around every corner, the setting was surely like nothing else. At least not anything Celeste, my assistant & good friend, or I have ever experienced. But, before I get carried away here, I intend this newsletter to be one of few words & many pictures so here we go:

Art enthusiasts during the show



During this exhibit I have been approached by a large number of Galleries including Old Town Gallery in Seal Beach California, Royal Street Fine Art in Aspen Colorado, Maui Fine Art as well as Art Encounter in Las Vegas itself to name just a few. I will be distributing work to them within the next few weeks. Furthermore have I talked to Columbia Pictures about the use of my artwork as backdrops in films and to Unclad Art about a possible exhibition in Origan so there is so many exciting things coming up.

'Woman be Woman' an exhibition by Allison Corey Fine Art

At the moment four of my originals are also on exhibition by Allison Corey Fine Art Gallery in New York. This exhibition titled 'Woman by Woman' is in benefit of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and all support will be highly appreciated.



Carrie Leigh's Nude Magazine

A couple of weeks ago while sifting through my bulk mail I came upon an email asking to use my work in a new nude magazine. Without any expectations I signed a release agreement and not long after I got the surprise of the year; In my mail was the most beautiful, top quality Magazine featuring four of my works among some of the best photography I have seen in a long time. For more info about this wonderful Magazine please visit CarrieLeigh.com



On a more personal note

In 2000 I visited my good friend Heleen in Scotland who told me about Yoga. I instinctively knew this is something I have to do, but on the day we were supposed to attend a yoga class things did not work out. A year later in London we again tried to attend a yoga class but ran into another red light. And so it went for years, I read books and asked at my local Gyms where I lived but no luck... yoga always somehow escaped me. Until one day out of the blue my spinning instructor came up to me and asked me if I will be willing to teach Bodyflow (Yoga, Pilates & Tai Chi combination). In August I have done my Less Mills Bodyflow instructors course in Northville, Michigan and taught my first solo class this very morning. During the time I have been involved in Bodyflow I have felt a drastic change not only in my body and it's capabilities but also in my mind-body connection. I will recommend this to anyone!
