What are the best things about art fairs

Meeting the public and sharing what I do.


Best show ever and why

Der Dutch Peddler, great promoters, great location, vendors were all one big family.


Worst show ever and why

Rolling Acres Craft Show- promoter held required morning meetings to remind vendors that if it wasn't for her we would be nothing and to inform us about the way they spent the previous years take on lavish trips and gifts for their families all the while telling us she was a Christian. It was a TRIP!

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I never take myself very seriously, I enjoy educating people about my art as much as I enjoy creating it. I hold a PhD in Education though I have spent more years as an artist than as a formal educator and I sit on the board of a non-profit which helps keep me grounded as to what is most important in life.
