Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals
Hello, my name is...
My name is Wendy Boucher and I have jumped into the art festival fray. I got an art degree, oh so many years ago, but I got sidetracked with a master's degree in political science and a law degree. Now I've come back to art full time
I just discovered this website and I've already received a lot of good advice for an upcoming show in Florida. I live in south Florida and so far I am scheduled to do Coconut Grove, Gasparilla, and Mainsail (both in the Tampa area). I don't know how much I can travel outside of Florida for shows given that I have an 11 year old daughter, two dogs, and a supportive husband. We'll see how it goes. I'd love to hear from other moms or dads with young-ish kids.I do mixed media, paper on canvas. I call it painting with paper because the images resemble paintings. But I don't use paint.
I look forward to getting to know the people in this community. I've had such a warm welcome already!

It's nice to meet you.
Went to your website for a look-around. Your work is work is beautiful. I enjoyed reading about how your mom is the person who introduced you to working with paper.
Welcome to the site. Glad you are here.

Hi Wendy. Welcome to the board.
Saw your name as one of the local artists at the Grove this year in the Herald article today.
See you this weekend.

Thanks for pointing out the Herald article for me, Geri. My husband steals the paper every morning so I had not seen it yet. Cheers!

Hi, Wendy. Hope the shows and the child care & dog care are goin well for you. How was Mainsail for you? The application for the 2011 show is today, I think, and we are thinking of applying. But we can't seem to find out much info about the show. For us it's a big time commitment because we live in Philadelphia and would be making a long trek down there. Would love to hear back from you about this. All the best, ~Emily & Rona
