Peekskill, New York, named for
Dutch businessman Jan Peeck, has a very interesting history, and to learn more
about the area, we visited The Peekskill Museum and took a tour

and learned about the history of Peekskill and its historical prominence in the
Revolutionary War. The Museum is a treasure trove of information and objects
that will inspire historians as well as pique the interest of visitors of all

American Contemporary Artist William Nelson first caught the
attention of Luxury Experience during the artist reception
for his new works for the exhibition, PRETTY, Desirable, Delightful,
DANGEROUS, at Cavalier Galleries in Greenwich, Connecticut. As film buffs, we were intrigued by his large-scale paintings featuring
iconic actresses Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell,
Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn
Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Uma Thurman, and many more set
against New York landmarks and other film locations. The
deft juxtaposition of the glamorous actresses and the landmarks in their films captured
our imaginations and inspired us to learn more about the engaging artist behind
the impressive art, William Nelson.
