First Friday Artist James Portello

James Portello is a born and bred Las Vegas artist. He says his work is mostly inspired by friends and family. And he also enjoys painting imagery inspired by the Mexican Holiday Dia De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead. Portello is a paramedic by day but still finds time to paint, exhibit and sell his artwork. James Portello joins us to talk about his work.
