What are the best things about art fairs

I feel proud when people buy my jewelry, it's nice to know that they like it well enough to want to either wear it or gift it. I love networking with the other artists.


Best show ever and why

Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Bronson Park Art Fair It is a great show, wonderful patrons, lots of sales, very accomodating promoters to work with.


Worst show ever and why

Fremont Baby Food Festival, horrible show, didn't sell enough to pay for the booth much less expenses. The people attending only wanted to buy crafts for under 10 dollars. There was a lot of buy and sell.


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

Another artist that I met at an Art show.


What is one fun fact about yourself?

I love to shell in Florida; however, I once "rescued" a stranded sea slug and was rewarded when a five dollar bill floated out as he opened his "wings". True story-who could make this up?
