Audry (AKA Sexy Mexi) has been singing as long as she can remember. In elementary school she was alwayswinning the talent shows. When she attended school in Canyon, Audry was always involved with anything that hadto do with performing. One of her superiors saw something special in her. He mentioned this to Jose (Audry’smanager and father) and opened his eyes to see how talented his little girl really was. Jose quit his job and Audrystarted home schooling, all focus was now on making this dream a reality. “I call him my “Dad-Ager”, he has beenmanaging my career professionaly since the age of 14.” This is how “Sexy Mexi” was born.
Anywhere that Audry could perform, she did...karokoe, restaurants, birthday parties..... everyone in town wouldsoon know who Sexy Mexi was. She continued to grow as an artist and soon she was at Flamingos, Gamboas,Club Baloo, Azteca (just to name a few). They soon found a studio and producers in the Dallas and Houston area.
From there, the dream flourished into reality. With her firstsingle out “Dome Un Besico....Give me a kiss” and the # 1 hiton 96.9 “Can’t let her go” life for this 18 year old dreamer wasjust beginning. Las Vegas, Las Angeles, New York, and manyother places were now being visited. Living the dream... per-forming in front of massive crowds. She is right at home onstage. “She just has it” Jose says... “Sometimes I look at herand my eyes well up.” For Audry she says, “it gives me goosebumps to hear them cheering for me.”
At every event they have special give-aways.. They give out T-shirts, CD’s, posters and even money. “They took time out oftheir day to come see me and I want to do something for them.My fans are my biggest motivation.”
You may know this young artist by the name of “Sexy Mexi” butshe has decided to go with her real name Audry because she
was constantly being mistaken her for a Spanish Singer and being pulled in that direction. “Just trying to exposemyself more to a different crowd”
Her fashion and style has also been tweaked. Now going with a morepunk-rock look. All of Audry’s stage outfits and clothing are speciallydesigned and made for her by manager and dad Jose Gutierrez. Audryadmits “He’ll look at me weird, then add a belt or a scarf to what Ipicked out and it always looks better after he has added his magic touch.”
Not only does Jose Guittierrez manage and design clothes. He also doesall of the photography, lighting and effects at the shows. These are just afew of the many responsibilities this dedicated dad takes on. “I’m alwayslooking for new ways to promote her. My wife says that I spend too muchon promotional things, but then someone will mention it and she admitsthat it was good idea.” You can tell by looking at Jose that his mind isconstantly going, thinking up new ideas.
Audry’s confident yet humble self image make this talented young lady a promising rising star. Always reachingand striving forward toward her Dream. Her motto: “Going to the Top - Always Non-stop. Join the Sexy MexiMovement.”
Focus on her vision leaves no time for boys. (Bet that makes Dad happy. :) It doesn’t seem to bother Audry though.“I’ve got my career to keep me busy. Too busy for any of that.” Music is her life, her world, her everything. Herdedication and passion is apparent in every aspect of her life.
Performing with some of the biggest names in the music industry, Audry has had the opportunity of working withArtist such as Lil Flip, Brown Boy, Mr. Capone, R. Kelly, Dem Franchize Boiz, Chicago Bling, Selena’s family,Mossore, Jenni Rivera and many others. I look forward to seeing who is next on this list.
Her inspiration has come from a variety of singers. Elvis, Timbaland, Beethoven, Selena, Christina Aquilera. “Any-one who feels and creates their music with true emotion” she says. Audry originally started out doing covers but
now she writes and composes all of her own music. The lyrics and music on herCD give us a peak into this young artist’s thoughts. If you would like to hearsome of her music you can purchase a CD at Hasting’s, I-tunes, CD Baby,Napster, anywhere online that is digital. You can also order through snail mailand receive a signed copy with bonus various gifts. She is also very active withher Myspace page. www.myspace.com/audrymusic. She says “I personally com-ment back to all of my fans that comment me.” You can go there to see allupcoming events and stories of her prior ones as well.
Jose Gutierrez has been approached several times to take on managing otheraspiring artist here locally. Currently 100% of his focus is on Audry but he iscoming around to the idea of taking on some new clients. “If you have thetalent, He is not a magician but he can work magic.” Audry claims. If you wouldlike to inquire about getting a new manager Jose is the one to call. Jose Guitierrez(AKA Joe Guti) 806 236-8983. You can also call this number to book Audry foryour next show.
Audry finishes with...“Special thanks to Melinda Guitierrez and Aunt Madrigal.Thank you to my manager, I wouldn’t be where I am at without you. And ofcourse Thank you to all of my Fans... Love you Muah.”

Body painting has existed for many centuries, in many forms. Often wornduring ceremonies, it still exists in one form or another among the indigenouspeople of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. A semi-permanentform of body painting called Mehndi, uses dyes made of henna, and is stillpracticed in India and the Middle East.
But, if you can’t get to any of thoseexotic locals, or don’t want anythingpermanent, then AmaDazzle is theplace for you.
Christina Davison, owner ofAmaDazzle, started face painting asan addition to providing pony ridesat children’s parties in 2004. Davisontook a face painting workshop in 2006,taught by Mark Reid, who said thatbecause of her skills, Christina shouldhave been teaching the class insteadof attending it. Mostly done free-hand,Davison can do pretty much any de-sign the customer wants.
Using non-toxic, cosmetically safe paints, Davison works quickly, finishinga face painting in as little as three minutes. The paint goes on easily, and iswater-based, so it can be rinsed off with minimal trouble. Although, Davisonsays, the darker purple can sometimes take a few days to disappear. Shealso states that most amateurs use craft paint, which can cause allergicreactions or even burns, and cautions that just because the product saysnon-toxic, doesn’t mean it won’t adversely react on the skin. For this reason,Davison uses only theatre cosmetics or body paints she buys from repu-table companies such as Mehron brand’s Paradise Face Paint.
Dazzling DesignsDavison is no amateur. In Seeboden,Austria, at the World Body PaintingCompetition, Davison came in 8th
place in the finals, right behind theafore mentioned Reid, who came in5th. Out of 77 competitors from allover the world, she came in 12th over-
all in the finals with her amazing de-
signs.
In addition to cheek painting and face
painting, Davison also does full body
painting, which can take any where
from three to nine hours, depending
on the design. Using cosmetic
sponges and acrylic brushes,
Davison’s designs are mostly free-
hand, although sometimes she uses stencils to create specific effects.
In November 2007, she did a commissioned set of paintings for Roasters in
the Hastings location on 45th Street in Amarillo. Those paintings are avail-
able for sale as a calendar on her website.
Her Gestational Art is a continuation of the practice of prenatal photogra-
phy, and takes one to two hours to complete. One design, titled, “Hush
Little Baby” and based on the song, took roughly four hours to complete.
Her prices for belly painting range from $65-$120 or more, depending on
the design, and the time it takes to complete it.
Christina, a member of the Amarillo Symphony, teaches Cello classes at
Amarillo College, and has taught body and face painting at workshops all
over the United States and the United Kingdom. Last Halloween, Davison
painted Kimbo Ishii-Eto, director of the Symphony, as Dracula, and also
does painting for bar staff and anybody who wants a little something differ-ent for Halloween.

By Amy Baucom
The ancient Egyptians believed the Scarab Beetle to be a protector againstall evil, and imagined a giant Scarab to have rolled the ball of the sunacross the sky. Thus, the beetle’s association with the Egyptian Sun God, Ra.In many legends, the lowly insect is credited with creating the world.
Michael Westmoreland uses the small but sacred beetle as the logo f or hisart studio, aptly named, Scarab Art.
Retired from medicine in 1999, Westmoreland grew up in Marietta, Oklahomaand did his residency at Baylor University. Westmoreland worked at theDallas Presbyterian Hospital’s Sleep Disorder Clinic before he and his wifemoved to Amarillo in 1983, where he helped to get the Amarillo SleepDisorder Clinic accredited. After his retirement, and because he’d alwayswanted to do sculpture, he says he “spent the first year in my workshoplearning not to cut off my hands.”
Westmoreland certainly has beensuccessful in that endeavor; and inMay of 2008, with all his limbs anddigits intact, opened his studio inthe Sunset Art Galleries on PlainsBlvd. in Amarillo.
Using wood and epoxy resins,Westmoreland started out in hisworkshop doing abstract and semi-abstract art before going back tothe classic art forms, such as nudes
Scarab Art
and busts. Westmoreland says he doesn’t use his art to “make a statement”,and shaping and making something in 3-dimension is something he enjoysdoing because of the freedom of art.
Clay is Westmoreland’s favorite medium, because mistakes are easily fixed,and it’s interesting to start out with something in mind and watch the clay
“evolve” as the work progresses.Wood, plaster and Vatican stone, aharder material than plaster, are usedin most of his creations.
Shakespearean characters are a bigpart of Scarab Art’s collection, withnotables such as the portrayal of Shy-lock, from The Merchant of Venice,titled “Do We Not Bleed”, or a beau-tiful silver rendition of the drownedOphelia, and a wire sculpture of theThree Witches from the play Macbeth.
Westmoreland also has a series ofsculptures depicting Winter Solsticesthrough out the years. These are done
in black and red, with the unifying elements being the sun and moon. Years1-5 are complete, with years 6 and 7 in progress.
Not much bronze work is done by Scarab Art, as bronze is expensive andtime consuming, and has to be shipped tothe Allen Houser Foundry in New Mexicofor the process of bronzing. Allen Houseris famous for his American Indian art de-picting Native Americans wrapped in blan-kets, or crying. Westmoreland says hedoesn’t believe the Native American peoplewere sad all the time, and envisions a sculp-ture of Indians laughing around a camp-fire.
Currently, Dr. Westmoreland is working ona plaster sculpture of a woman, titled“Ava“. Ava is still in progress, as her handswill have to be made of epoxy resin andfitted onto her arms later. Westmorelandspends about 4 hours a day on Ava, and works on her in his studio at theArt Gallery.The galleries’ hours are 10 am to 6pm, and all of Westmoreland’s art is forsale, except for the portraits of his wife. It can also be seen on his website,www.scrabart.net
Sunset Galleries hosts First Friday Night, the first Friday of every monthfrom 5-9pm, and also Second Saturday, on the second Saturday of the month.
Scarab Art is open during these times for you to come in and take a look atsome of the fascinating, unique artwork of Michael Westmoreland. Moreoften than not, you’ll find him sitting on a stool, working on his latest project.Go by and visit with him. You’ll be glad you did.
