September Shows

Here is my show schedule for September 2019! (they're all saturdays)

7th - Codman Estate Fine Art Festival, Lincoln MA

14th - Hollis, NH Old Homes Day Artisan Market

21st - Waterloom Fairy Festival, New Ipswich, NH

As some of my followers know, since 2015 when I caught a very bad bout of flu ( I never miss a flu shot now!) I've struggled with a leftover chronic illness/dysautonomia which effects my heart and blood pressure, among other things. This means I do far less shows than I used to in the past, and I sometimes I have to cancel shows with little advanced notice. If you plan to come to a show just to find me or my work, please do email the night before to make sure I'm still going to make it. I always plan to make it. :) Thank you!

Missed the open studio? You can still find me and a few creations from my studio at the New Hampshire Renaissance Faire this upcoming weekend and the weekend after! The NH Renaissance Faire is located in Fremont, NH : May 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th (that's right! 2 weekends!)

Come visit the Queen and her court, watch knights joust and spar, dance with gypsies, listen to wonderful music and sing with a zombie, ride a unicorn, and of course meet awesome 'merchants' like myself. ^_^

The Silver Branch will be on NH Chronicle : May 1st, 7pm on WMUR! Of course, this happens during my busiest "prep" time for the New Hampshire Renaissance Faire, when I'm usually not open to the public as I'm so busy trying to keep focused on sculpting. I will have the studio open for a few hours this weekend for visitors, however. :) 

Saturday May 4th: 1-5:30pm
Sunday May 5th: 1-4pm

Adding Sculptures to the Shop!

Well, I finally sat down with PayPal buttons again after 4 years (when I tried to make them work for various shipping profiles and couldn't figure it out.) They've come a long way in 4 years! So I managed to work them out and get a few available sculptures onto the website! My next task is to figure out how to better manage my copious gallery pages. Any helpful suggestions would be most appreciated!

Overhauling the Website

Any visits to the website this week will notice a bright yellow SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION banner on the new home page. I've decided to redesign some elements of the site to sell sculptures directly from the site and to make the gallery pages a little less 'cluttered.' The problem with being a prolific creator is that I have hundreds and hundreds of images and over a dozen galleries to organize them all. Rather difficult to manage, especially as I'm a one-woman business. Stay tuned for new updates to the shop page, the galleries, and... oh yea! This blog! I'm not sure if it's going to stay on the site, but for now, I'll be using it to announce new sculptures and post pics of works in progress much like I already do on Facebook and Instagram.
