My name is Athena Manasses, born in Chicago, IL. I have lived in Las Vegas, NV for the last 27 years. I started painting 13 years ago and I’m basically self taught. I went to as many art workshops as I could afford. I was a finalist in the Artist’s Magazine after one year of painting. (I painted a Beagle in the animal category). I have exhibited in art shows in California, Arizona and Nevada and have received numerous awards. I have been commissioned to paint animals, people, landscapes and more.
I’m a poker player and a friend of mine suggested I do some paintings for poker. I designed and painted all the paintings myself on this site. I hope you enjoy them as I enjoyed painting them.
