The Little Craft Show

-celebrating handmade since 2011-

My work is all emotion, whimsy, and color – with a splash of representation. I love to see what each piece will become. I've been designing these shapes since I was in elementary school; making my own coloring pages with swirls and loops to fill in. I have a degree in journalism, worked as an advertising copywriter, and currently teach high school English. I think my love of words is what makes me want to "read" each painting to give it a name. Some of my recent favorites are: Whale Salad and Tardigrade Dreams. For me, the title is almost as much a part of the piece as is the paint and design. I've experimented with all types of artistic media but always come back to watercolor. There's something irresistibly charming about its transparent vibrancy. And by working in primarily small formats, I am able to offer affordable, easy-to-own original pieces.

HISTORY

The Little Craft Show was founded in 2011 as a fun, “little” event for us to sell our handmade products with our closest friends. We had a small venue, a handful of crafty friends, and a few extra spaces to fill. The response was amazing. TLCS is now Arkansas’ most talked about indie craft show that's celebrated for our refreshing atmosphere, enthusiastic vendors, and high quality handmade goods. We were even ranked as one of the top EIGHT craft shows in the nation by Country Living Magazine.
