Calling all Artists!

I'm super excited to announce that I have been chosen as the featured artist for the 2010 Aaron Douglas Art Fair!!! It is such an honor to be recognized by the organizers of such an amazing event in a community where the art scene is really booming! I strongly urge any artist in the Topeka area to become a part of this awesome event!


The art fair showcases diverse and emerging artists in the Topeka and surrounding area. Not only is there wonderful artwork to see, there's also yummy food, entertainment and children's activities. To enter as an artist or to find out more about the event visit their website at www.aarondouglasartfair.com or become a fan on facebook.

And be sure to stay tuned for the unveiling of the featured artwork (created by me!) Thursday May 6th! I can't wait!!!

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!

I'm in!

Yay! I just received word late last night that fookaDESIGNS will be showing at the Aaron Douglas Art Fair next Saturday the 26th! Due to a mis-communication I'm finding out kind of late but I'm still super excited. I hope it's not too late of notice for you...I would love for any of you that are in the Topeka area to make it out to the fair and see me. The event is from 11-5 featuring all kinds of local artists with live music and yummy food. Best of all, it's FREE! It will be a great time. Hope to see you there!

So....How did it go?

Wow, I'm so sorry to keep you all in suspense! If you were unable to make it to the Art Fair you may be wondering how did it go? Well, I think overall it went great!

The weather was nice and there was a good turnout of people. I set up with 2 other artist friends which worked out well. We each have different styles, and work in different mediums so we seemed to have something for everyone bringing many visitors to our tent.

Here are some pics...I was set up on the left side of the tent with the foo•kaDESIGNS banner.








With my first Art Fair experience under my belt and the first time jitters out of the way, I will definitely be interested in doing this show again next year!
