What are the best things about art fairs

Meet the audience face to face, get to talk to them and build relationships with fans and also other artists.


Best show ever and why

Pinecrest Gardens 2013, it was my first show and I sold a few pieces.


Worst show ever and why

I have only done 3 shows so far. I guess the last one could be it as I did not make any sales, after I invested in getting the propanels, a “better” looking tent, frames and the fee to enter the show. Not selling is disappointing with so much overhead to re enter the art shows after 12 years since the last one. But I understand people don’t know me and perhaps that was not the right show for me. It was the Boca Fest in Boca Raton.


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

Nobody, I found it only when I was looking to buy tent and propanels. However, recently I did the mock jury with Larry Berman and he also mentioned this site.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I am determined and optimistic. I dedicated the last 25 years to my job and now due to a layoff, I decided to give myself a go with pursuing doing art as my business. It won’t be easy as I can see already from the first show this year with zero sales, but I will figure it out. I am resourceful and solutions driven.
