What are the best things about art fairs

The people and their questions. Whether or not I make a sale I love sharing my story and talking about my art.


Best show ever and why

The Akron Art Expo. Well, I could say because it was my highest grossing show ever, but I loved the people, the vendors, the organizers, the food and entertainment. It didn't seem like "work" at all.


Worst show ever and why

An un-named Catholic church that I got talked into. I didn't even make my table fee and had more stolen than sold.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I do what I do today because a 15 year old great aunt passed away during the tuberculosis epidemic. Someone taught her how to make a necklace and it is a treasured thing to my mother and someday me (I hope).
