hello everyone,
My name is Adriana and I'm a visual artist.
I have been painting for around 7 years and I use to sell online until my neighbor told me that I should sell my work at this art market very close to my house.
I was scared but I send my application and I made it. I fell in love selling my work directly to the people and I started to apply to other shows in town. I had to stop when my 4th child was born but now that he is not a baby anymore I want to return.
I did 5 shows last year. Some were very good but some were bad. A book and the promoter of some shows lead me to this website and I gather great information.
I like to make all my displays, boxes and walls. I don't like to spend a lot of money but I like to have nice things. I will post some images of my booth if someone wants to see it.
My art is whimsical and it used to be only paintings but last year I introduce some clay figurines from my paintings and were a great success.
This year I'm combining the two, painting and clay and I can't wait to my first show of the season. I hope we can exchange information and make some art friends here.
You will find grammatical errors when I type because I'm from Argentina and Spanish is my first language.

Hi Adrianna, It sounds like you have many artistic talents: painting, clay and making your own displays. I'd love to see your whimsical designs when you have time to upload some images. Enjoy this sight as it has much to offer.
Thank you Annette and Jacki for the welcome. I will post pictures of my booth when I have them ready. I did shows that didn't require booth shots but there are a couple I want to get in and they do require them so I'm getting this ready.
Yesterday I finished staining my wooden print rack I made from scratch using wood and imitation leather. I'm also finishing 3 extra panel walls I made with screen doors and wire mesh.
I blogged about my booth last year so you can see it here Link to my booth blog
well, now it's time to go to work. I just got an invitation for a show I want to do and I want to get my booth finished and some new art work also. Have a great day ladies, see you around.
Here is the link. You will see others have posted their booth shot, too. Post yours and we can see how you are doing.
