Today was the BIG day!

Today was the press release and the unveiling of the featured artwork (created by me!) for the 2010 Aaron Douglas Art Fair!

Wow! I was SO excited and SO nervous! I'm NOT by any stretch of the imagination a public speaker, add in a couple of news cameras and I'm surprised I was even able to get a word out...lol!

But in all seriousness, I think overall it went pretty well. I'm SO incredibly honored to be the featured artist for this years fair and I'm having a lot of fun sharing my work and passion for art!

Here are some pics of the today's event and a couple of links to see the unveiling:

Great Day for an Art Fair

The Aaron Douglas Art Fair was a great success. The weather was perfect and the crowd was wonderful. Thank you so much to all my fookaFRIENDS who made it out to see me this year! It was so nice to see your friendly faces and so awesome to meet new friends! I couldn't have asked for a better show. For those of you who weren't able to make it, here are some shots of the event.





One of the best parts about this show is that I get to share booth space with two wonderful artists....my little sister (from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program) and her grandmother. Here is a pic of me and my sis after we set up our show. She is such a talented artist and does amazing watercolor paintings. I'm so impressed by her work and so proud of her!
