Well....my first weekend of the Hidden in the Hills Open Studio Tour and Art Sale is under my belt! Whew! The weeks of preparation are done.....painting, framing, making note cards, ordering postcards and business cards, buying a banner, buying propanels and hanging hardware...............and so on! And it all came together beautifully! Mother Nature even helped out with beautiful weather....even for the Valley of the Sun which is famous for beautiful weather! Since this is my first venture of this sort (along with the state of the economy) I was hoping to sell a few cards and get exposure as an emerging artist in an area crawling with professional artists. If I sold a painting it would be frosting on the cake. Well....I got the frosting! Over this first weekend of the two weekend event I sold many note cards, met many people interested in my art and how I do it, sold a painting, and got a commission! I am thrilled! All the effort and hard work was worth it. I can't wait till next weekend!
Here is a link to a video of my booth setup. I got many compliments on my setup which was very gratifying. I was set up on the back patio of the host studio of Lori Greenberg. The entrance to her studio where she makes glass beads is off this back patio. Next to me on the patio is a fine art photographer, Sal La Rocca who does beautiful work and is great fun to talk with whenever we had a lull. Enjoy!
