The Markers’ Market in Del Norte was great fun and success!  Below are a few moments captures on camera. One wonderful surprise was our dear friend Jeff coming by to shop some original art. You can see him with me and with his new night sky mountain art which perfectly reflects his love and involvement with night sky programs in the valley and his avid hiking lifestyle – thank you Jeff!

Alamosa Holiday Market at Milagros

Yesterday I had the best Holiday Market and would like to thank all the people of Alamosa who have come out to support this great event and that have stopped by to talk to me and who chose my art to take home as something special from the Holiday Market  My family has a special connection to the San Luis Valley, being that both our boys were born here in town and we also own a 40 acre property outside of town that we use for our own creative expressions and taking in the incredible views.

Local Maker’s Fair in Pagosa Springs

Today I took part in a local holiday market here in Pagosa Springs. This was a fun opportunity to do a pop-up display of my medium and smaller paintings as well as giclee art prints of my paintings and vinyl art stickers with my imagery. My most popular items at this event were prints and stickers which are both still available in my Online Art Shop for the Holiday Season.

Crested Butte Artumn Festival

Crested Butte is one of my favorite Autumn destinations for hiking, camping and ofcourse LEAF PEEPING! So I lined up an Art Festival to coincide with our annual autumn extravaganza. I applied and was accepted to the Artumn Festival in CB. Following the success at the Durango Autumn Art Festival, I was hoping for a great event. Unfortunately, this festival maybe 5% to 10% of the foot traffic of the Durango Event. Still I med wonderful art friends, connected with great folks enjoying the beautiful day in Crested Butte and I learned a lot, especially to research events I will be applying to in the future to ensure that I put my eggs in the right basket in 2024!
