Upcoming Events

I love meeting with people and talking about art and life. Find me and my art at these upcoming events!

UPDATE (07/17/2026): As of now, it looks like the festival is still happening despite the nearby forest fires and smoke in Ely. Plan to come support the artists and the great town of Ely during this difficult time.

I'm excited to be back in beautiful Ely this summer for this great festival! I met so many cool people last year and even won first place in the Best Artist category - such an honor. This very popular festival features tons of great artist, delicious food vendors, and don't miss the blueberry pies!
This one-day art & book festival packs a punch! It's a very popular event featuring regional artists and authors. They also have live music, some of the best food around, and lots of activities for the kids. If you're in lake country in northern Minnesota in August, make it a point to take in this great festival!
Another Twin Cities festival! I am excited for this new festival (for me) which takes place in my old work stomping grounds in the Centennial Lakes area of Edina. There will be food vendors and many artists of all kinds as you meander along the beautiful walkways along the water. All proceeds from the Festival go to support the Edina First Responders Fund, which is very cool.
This will be my first time at this cozy festival nestled in the valley of Chester Bowl in beautiful Duluth, just as the fall leaves are turning. There will be 135 art and craft vendors, 15 food trucks, and activities for kids and families, all for a suggested donation of $5 per person and $10 per family (all proceeds go to scholarships for kids to attend camps!) I'll be at booth #113. Come see me!
This was such a fun event for me to attend because it's in my hometown! I saw so many friends that I loved catching up with. And their support of my art was amazing. I'm not gonna lie, being inside was super nice, too! This event takes place on hunting opener at the Timberlake Lodge for all those who don't enjoy hunting. They have so many great artist vendors there. It's definitely worth a trip and is a must see!
I am happy to open up my studio to you all to come an see where I work, get a peek behind the curtain of my process, and have more time to chat and connect. The fall colors should be peaking right then, too (just another excuse to come up for a visit!) I loved being a part of it last year and hope that you'll join me this year. The tour is happening on two days, Oct. 3 & 4, but my studio will only be open on Oct. 3.
