How long have you been selling at the Wyandotte Street Art Fair?  This will be my fourth year at the art fair.

What do you sell? I make adorable whimsical creations out of polymer clay–holiday ornaments, pins, picture frames, music boxes, bookmarks, light switch plates and comical fish bowls.

What is your booth number at this year's fair? 27

Out of all the fairs in the country, why do you choose to participate in Wyandotte’s? The Wyandotte street fair is a wonderful show. Artists come from many different states to do the show.

Tell us an interesting tidbit about yourself or your work. I have been doing art fairs for almost 20 years. Everything I sell is hand squished by me and are all my original ideas.
