I sell my work as Vibrant Afternoon.
To me, the brand name Vibrant Afternoon symbolizes a few ideas:
Vibrant: colourful, diverse, ever-changing
Afternoon: there is still time left in the day, which you are free to spend as you like
While I have an online store on this very website, I believe the best way to share art is in person, at craft fairs. I love meeting people and sharing stories, especially when they resonate with the food or destinations I've illustrated.
Please see below for my future events – hope to see you there!
