Feedback has been very positive. […]
Public Speaking Doesn’t Have to be Painful Read
Happy to say that I survived the hot sun and crowds at yesterday’s Cherry Creek Arts Festival. A few observations: 1. I had understood that booth shots were critical to getting into high-quality art festivals like CC, so was amazed at some of the really crappy booths. I mean really crappy. It was very disappointing

The Business Media Wants to Know about Your Art BUSINESS Read
I made a HUGE mistake today. I went to a neat panel Q&A with representatives from Denver newspapers, magazines, and television stations.
