What are the best things about art fairs

Other artists and interacting with the attendees.


Best show ever and why

Tempe Festival of the Arts Fall 2014 since it was my highest grossing show so far. Additionally, I find the Tempe Festival of Arts shows to be well-organized, and I enjoy the atmosphere.


Worst show ever and why

Hayesville, NC Summer 2014 I lost my tent due to a heavy downpour overnight (as did several other artists), but even if that hadn't happened I think it still would have been a poor show. Attendees were there to eat bbq and watch their neighbors clog dance not to shop.


Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.

I believe I found it online


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I spent 28 years as a zookeeper. My first 6 years were at Busch Gardens, Tampa where I worked in the animal nursery. The last 22 I was a keeper t the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ. I "retired" in 2013 to pursue my art venture.
