Encino Park Arts & Crafts Fair

-
I am excited to be participating in the 29th annual Encino Park Fall Craft Fair right in my own backyard. The Craft Fair includes over 100 crafters and artisans and is a great opportunity to purchase handcrafted items as you begin your holiday shopping. The fair will be held the first weekend in October from 9:00 am to 5:00pm both Saturday and Sunday. Admission to the event and parking are free. All proceeds are donated toward the Encino Park Women's Club scholarship funds and other community development projects. I am glad to be part of this event in my own neighborhood to support my community and spend the weekend sharing my work with my neighbors and other San Antonio residents. Hope to see you there.

Glass Touch at Historic Market Square

-
On September 27th I will be in downtown San Antonio’s Historic Market Square. This area has been a public marketplace since 1894. A marvelous location, rich in Spanish and Mexican heritage, Market Square is a favorite destination for visitors and natives alike. This three-square block area of shops and restaurants reflects the flavor of San Antonio. As a native San Antonian who has taken visiting family and friends through Market Square and Le Mercado, I am excited at the prospect of presenting my work to the public in this forum. Visitors to this historic square can enjoy cold margaritas in outdoor cafes, Mexican food from long time family owned restaurants, strolling musicians and plenty of shopping opportunities inlcuding a booth of my work on Saturday afternoon September 27th.

My How Time Flies

100 posts... Wow! I would never have imaged it when I started 18 months ago. At that time I was not sure how exactly I would use this space, what it would look or feel like. Originally I thought I would be able to share with others. I had no idea how so many others would share with me. I have made new friends near and far, and been inspired and encouraged by other artists. In this my 100 post I want to take a brief minute to thank everyone for their support. I have enjoyed every minute of this experience and look forward to many many more.

New SAVA Fine Art Gallery

-

San Antonio Visual Artists (SAVA) recently opened a Fine Art Gallery in Rivercenter Mall just off Commerce Street in downtown San Antonio. This is an exciting step for this fast growing group. The gallery is displaying the juried work of it's members. In addition it is sponsoring events like FotoSeptiembre with special exhibits throughout the month. I'm proud to say that at the moment the gallery includes the works of several San Antonio Glass Art Guild (SAGAG) Members including Denise with Little Song Art and myself. The work displayed in this space will be changing regularly and is certainly worth a periodic look.
