Years in the Art Fair Business

I actually have worked for a handcolored photographer for many years and helped him do matting, framing, shipping, and other work around the studio.

First show ever

First real art show I ever went to was the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I really loved working at that show. It was amazing.

What are the best things about art fairs

Meeting new people, seeing all the great work of the other artists.

Best show ever and why

Ann Arbor Art Fair because it is so big and there is something there for everyone. I enjoyed the art atmosphere, the creative people, and the patrons.

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

Connie Mettler, of course.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I was a member of a National Championship Cross Country team 2 years in a row.
