First show ever
Inman Park Arts Festival, Atlanta GA. USA
What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting & interacting w fallow artists Exhibiting & selling my artwork. On-site live-sitting portraits drawing/painting
Best show ever and why
Roswell GA Arts Festival where I did real well financially and I received Best of Show Award
Worst show ever and why
Naples Invitational Art Festival where I barely covered my expenses then on my way back home to Atlanta my car broke down at night and the middle of no where. I had to spend two nights waiting for my car to be fixed, costed me an arm & leg. After all these trouble I put my bleu jeans in the washing machine with the two checks ($800+) I’ve made at the show, but the good thing that I’ll never forget about human kindness is that both clients kindly sent me replacement checks.

What is one fun fact about yourself?
People are always fascinated about the amazing life-like portraits I’m able to create in pastel from live-sitting in no longer than 20 minutes. I’ve created thousands of them for patrons from around the world, particularly during 9 years as a professional artist in Montmartre, Paris where I was recognized as « One of the most distinguished portrait artists in Paris », this was 1991 through 1999.
