I will be a vendor at Artbeat in the Heat Saturday in Bay View at the Historic Hide House, located at 2625 S. Greeley St.
The event starts at noon and runs until 10 p.m. There will be live performances all day plus artist vendors like myself selling all sorts of amazing stuff.
Here’s a little sample of what I’ll be offering:
Artbeat also did an artist profile on me. You can see it on their Facebook page. Here’s an excerpt:
#1 Please give us a brief bio, where you are from and how you started in this field?
I am a crafty, nerdy artist living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By day, I am a web producer and social media manager. By night, I am a freelance designer, artist and writer.
I have always been a creative person. I often made gifts for family and friends. Then they started paying me to make things for them, and after much prodding I began selling my art at fairs and online in 2008.#2 When did you first discover your creative talents?
My parents raised us in a home that fostered creativity. Some of my earliest memories are of working on craft projects with my siblings. We did everything from finger painting to ironing grated crayons between wax paper. My mom is still amazed by the things I create, and sometimes she feels like her work pales in comparison to mine. I have to remind her that it’s because of her I’m the creative person I am today. So in a way, all of my work is inspired by her.
