It’s officially 30 days until I attend my first art festival as a vendor! On Saturday, May 18th I’ll be at the Art Fest at Taylor Brook Winery in Woodstock, CT (https://www.taylorbrookewinery.com/) I’m both nervous and really excited for this opportunity. I think this show in particular is a really good match for me for […]
So the last couple of weeks I’ve been fighting a cold that turned into a sinus infection and haven’t gotten much done. I’ve dabbled here and there and finally got around to finishing a number of pieces I’ve been experimenting with. The idea behind these pieces is based on my word for the year “Failure”.
