What are the best things about art fairs

Every show is a new adventure and I like the feed back I get from the people that see my work.


Best show ever and why

The first one I did because I made sales and it encouraged me to do more.


Worst show ever and why

Bucktown in Chicago. Sales only covered booth fee which would have been acceptable but I didn't know that I was set up next to a tree with a bee hive and I got stung twice and the pain of the show lasted for days.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I'm drawing a blank
