My first art show was in Stanton VA selling jewelry, stained glass items and steppingstones. I participated in 3 to 4 events per year until I left the Shenandoah Valley and moved back to Richmond, my hometown, in 2005. In the past 12 years I have only participated in a few events because of LIFE. My event items are now more diversified and I would like to participate in several events a year, but can only do one day events.
