Update from Toby: Below is where Michelle will be over the next few months in case you want to plan your life around her festival schedule. ;)
The weekend of April 28th-30th I will be showing my work at the Magic City Art Connection in Linn Park nin downtown Birmingham, AL. The hours are Friday and Saturday 10am to 6pm, and then Sunday 10am to 5pm.

My booth number is 242 which is on the side of the park close to 20th Street - near the Corks and Chefs tent. Here is a link: Festival Map
I plan on bringing a lot of art with me - 5 original pieces, 20 plus giclée reproductions on canvas, 1 reproduction on birch wood, and plenty of paper giclée prints with me. Below is a pretty complete list of the canvas and birch wood reproductions I am bringing. I know sometimes all of the titles get hard to match up with the piece. So if you need to visual reference you can click back into the prints page. If you are reading this prior to the event and you want me to bring something specific please email me by April 19th. Thanks.
post festival note- I took down the list after the festival b/c it was taking up space.

Quick update for you.
1. Coconut Grove in Miami. This was my first time at this event and the overall artist talent level was just off the charts. There was an unbelievable amount of high quality art. And I have to admit that I still get goosebumps thinking, "Wow, I belong here - with all these great artists." It's definitely special.
2. Naples. I'm always happy to go places I've never been and Naples is no different. The dates are March 18-19. Should be great.
3. I got accepted to show at the upcoming Artsplosure festival in Raleigh, NC in May. Super happy to have this confirmed. This will be my third time at the show but I never take it for granted that I will get in - b/c it's just that competitive. So now that it's official I feel better and breathe easier.
The weekend of February 4-5 I will be showing my work at the Mount Dora Arts Festival. The hours are 9am to 5pm both days. My booth number is D120 which is at the corner of Donnelly and 3rd Street. For more info here is a link to their website http://www.mountdoraartsfestival.org/
I plan on bringing quite a lot of my art with me - 6 original pieces, 18 giclée reproductions on canvas and plenty of paper giclée prints. Below is the full list of canvas prints. I know sometimes all of the titles get hard to match up with the piece. So if you need to visual reference you can click back into the prints page.
update 02/27/2017 - First things first: Mount Dora was great. This was my third trip there and it was by far my best show in terms of sales. So, that's always good. Next, in the paragraph above I reference a list that I made for all the canvas prints I was bringing with me to the show. Well, I deleted the list b/c it was lengthy and no longer relevant - seeing how this festival was a 3 weeks ago. :) Okay, carry on.
Pretty exciting to be visiting south FL in the next couple of months (Miami and Naples). My work is not traditional Miami style but it's 2017 and I'm throwing caution to the wind. Right? :)
The weekend of November 26-27 I will be showing my work at the St. Augustine Art Festival. The show is in Francis Field which is super close to downtown making it a great chance to shop for art and have lunch in one of the great local restaurants. The hours are 10am to 5pm on Saturday and 10am to 4:30pm on Sunday. For more info here is a link to their website http://www.staugustineartfestival.com/
I plan on bringing with me 4 original pieces, 21 giclée reproductions on canvas, 4 reproductions on birch wood (plus plenty of paper prints). Below is the list of the canvas reproductions and the birch wood pieces. I know sometimes all of the titles get hard to match up with the piece. So if you need to visual reference you can click back into the prints page. If you would like me to bring something that is not on this list please contact me by Monday, November 14th. :)
The weekend of November 4th-6th I will be at Seville Square in downtown Pensacola for the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival. The hours are 9am – 5pm on both Friday and Saturday and then 10am to 4pm on Sunday. My booth number is #10 on Miro Manor - the southeast corner of the square.

Hope to see you there!
Had a super weekend in Ocala! I sold 2 original pieces The Open Door and The Traveler's Gift. It's honestly a little bitter sweet when I sell an original piece. And The Open Door had become such a favorite. People would honestly come into the booth and take a selfie with the wolf. Grown people would. It was so funny. As for The Traveler's Gift - it was my newest piece and was only beginning to settle into my booth. I sort of think it sold too soon but then I know it's not. Both pieces found a great home and I am so happy. Yay.
I also got an award of merit at the show. I'm so honored b/c there are so many great artists there. I bestowed the award to Toby as he seldom gets recognized. :) Check me out on Facebook and/or Instagram to get the full story about it - including his ridiculous response!
Here I come Pensacola - with a new piece I hope. Nov 4th-6th.
This weekend - October 22 & 23 - I will be in downtown Ocala, FL for the Ocala Arts Festival. The hours are 10am – 5pm on both days. For more info on the festival their website is here - http://www.fafo.org/about-the-ocala-arts-festival/
My booth number is 101 which is at the corner of Broadway and Osceola Street. I plan on bringing with me 6 original pieces, 19 giclée reproductions on canvas, 3 reproductions on birch wood (plus plenty of paper prints).
Hope to see you there!
I will be in downtown Blue Ridge, GA for their Fall Arts in the Park on Saturday and Sunday - October 8-9. The hours are 10am – 5pm on both days.
In addition to the 6 original pieces which I'll have with me, I will also have 16 giclée reproductions on canvas, 1 reproduction on birch wood, and plenty of paper giclée prints with me.
Hope to see you there!
Crazy but true. At each of my last three shows (Cary-NC, Augusta-GA, and Charlotte-NC) I've been chosen for an award. All three were juried events with more than 100 participating artists and the judges are picked because of their experience in the arts over an extended period of time. So I've been so fortunate and I am very grateful. It definitely feels good and also motivates me to push myself. I hope to continue to create pieces which connect with the heart and inspire the mind. Thanks to all who support me...and sorry for bragging :)
