The 2024 Spring edition of the Del Norte Makers Market at the Historic Windsor Hotel was my third of its kind and it was AWESOME as usual! I think its one of the most authentic markets around and folks from across Colorado should add it to their Colorado Road Trip Itinerary! I hope to participate for the 4th time this December for the Holiday Edition of the event.
Following the success of my first ever 2 weekend festival last year “The Durango Autumn Art Festival” I decided to participate in the Durango Farmers Market a few times this season. May 18th was my first market. It was a fun, family experience where I got to share my art with the local community. My sons really enjoyed the community atmosphere and browsing the delicious and beautiful booths while meeting farmers and artisans. They even got to pretend to be tree climbers right behind my booth – what fun!
The Markers’ Market in Del Norte was great fun and success! Below are a few moments captures on camera. One wonderful surprise was our dear friend Jeff coming by to shop some original art. You can see him with me and with his new night sky mountain art which perfectly reflects his love and involvement with night sky programs in the valley and his avid hiking lifestyle – thank you Jeff!
Yesterday I had the best Holiday Market and would like to thank all the people of Alamosa who have come out to support this great event and that have stopped by to talk to me and who chose my art to take home as something special from the Holiday Market  My family has a special connection to the San Luis Valley, being that both our boys were born here in town and we also own a 40 acre property outside of town that we use for our own creative expressions and taking in the incredible views.
