The Evanston Art and Big Fork Festival August 22nd and 23rd, 2026

It’s here again, The Evanston Big Fork Show- 11am-6pm Saturday, 10am-5pm Sunday. it looks to be a great weather weekend, so I hope to see you there. I’m at booth 149 across the street from Jimmy John’s on Sherman St., Evanston.

I’ll be showing my jewelry, and while you may have heard I have also been doing wall art, that reveal will take place later in the season, most likely at the Holiday One of a kind Show.

I’ve been working on upgrading my artistic pursuits this summer by learning in person from some of the well known artists in the enameling field- Namely Harlan Butt and Mi Sook Hur. Some of these things will take a little time to develop. I am looking forward to later fall after I’ve had time to digest and continue my art.
