Ace Vegas, real name Renee Strange, is a 24 year old female graffiti artist from the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, Australia. She is currently living and working in Brisbane, Queensland, however she still does a lot of her commission work around the Lismore area.

Starting in 2002, Ace Vegas uses urban style stencils and free hand spray paint to create art works that comment on the urban environment she lives in and issues that youth are currently facing in her home town and in Brisbane.

Ace Vegas has exhibited in the Tropical Fruits NYE art exhibition in 2005 and 2006, The Queer Eye Art Exhibition in 2004 and more recently she completed large murals for the Hammer and Tongs Dance Party.

The Hammer and Tongs project aimed at recreating the grit of urban back alleys to theme the dance party.

Ace Vegas credits her first interest in graffiti arts to another local artist originally from the Sydney graffiti scene, Mermaid Fairy Princess Amber. The two artists met in 2002.
