Alameda Makers Fair

The Alameda Maker's Fair was so fun! There was so much to see and learn about, and the Mayor of Alameda bought one of my paintings! Scroll through and see what a fun day we had :)

My booth had not only a ton of my original work, it also had a lot of info about creative expression and people with disabilities, I may do another blog post in the future to highlight the information i had on display.

I also did my first live demo! I wanted people to see how i create my pieces, and i had a very curious audience.
