What are the best things about art fairs

I love meeting my fellow artist more than anything. But besides that I love meeting people who really love my work and are excited about what I do. It helps to build my confidence and inspires me to make new creations.


Best show ever and why

Huckleberry Days Art Festival 2014. It was my second show ever. I had a pretty bad year closing a store front/art gallery and my confidence was blown. That show I sold out of everything I had including back stock and met a huge amount of people that loved my work. It's what kept me in going after a lot of blows to my ego that year.


Worst show ever and why

Artists and Craftsmen Holiday Show 2014. I set up and a blizzard struck. It was -15 outside and nobody was shopping. I sat for three days and only made $500 It was depressing to say the least.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

My art is what keeps me sane. Working with fabric, sitting at my sewing machine is meditative and I find that hours go by and I don't even realize it because time just disappears.
