Artist Résumé
Artist Statement:
I work with a spiritual base for the creation of unique art offering universal acceptance and understanding of the message or subject.
My work has no boundaries and this is something I never want applied to me. I believe art for both the public and private domain is of the utmost importance as it nurtures art interest and understanding. I always focus on making art and sculpture that continues to live through the feel of moment or impression of future growth, I want my art to continue to develop as we do.
Art should be for all, regardless of cultural, economic, religious or ethnic origin and I hope my art can create an environment for conversation, objectivity, spirituality and tranquility. There will always be those that have strong opinions on what is and what isn't art, but the fact that they have an opinion at all shows us that we have at least started a dialogue and hopefully bridge voids towards a greater understanding of much more than just art.

Over 650,000 people are expected to see the exhibition.
Irwin Molasky and Molasky Properties commissioned Price to create the first public art and signature sculpture in the Bank of America Plaza on Downtown Las Vegas Boulevard as part of their $1.3 million refurbishment project. The sculpture project called "Upward Trends" is considered a first in illustrating a successful commercial collaboration of art and the private sector. It has been hailed as putting Las Vegas on the national art map.
The City of North Las Vegas has recently joined with Price for a five-year program to display works of art in public spaces across town. The program dubbed the Nicholas A.

-"Attending one of Price's artful soirees is definitely an experience that extends beyond just "looking at art. One usually walks away from such an event with either an increased awareness of the vital importance that art has on our everyday lives. It is a concept not just for the high-end collectors but for the layman or child to contemplate"
-" Like the work and the artist, such grand inspiration is invaluable"
