Welcome to my new blog, Arts, Plants, & Therapy. For my very first post, I am excited to announce that I will be participating in the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show this year! I loved attending and selling my art at various farmers markets in Utah last year, and am excited to attend my first market here in California!

The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show is every Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM downtown along Cabrillo Boulevard, right next to the beach and Stearn’s Wharf. This market has been operating for over 60 years, and it’s an honor to have been accepted to sell my work alongside other local artists and artisans. The market is free to attend and a must-visit attraction whether you live in Santa Barbara or you’re visiting as a tourist!

What I’m Bringing to the Market

My booth will feature a collection of my original paintings and artist trading cards (mini originals in a trading card size), as well as hand-painted seashells that I collect from local beaches and turn into unique keepsakes. My other items (prints, coloring books, and Picky Pads) were not approved but will still be available here in my online shop for anyone who is interested!

My first appearance at the The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show will be a special holiday show on July 4, 2026, and then I will be there every Sunday afterwards. If you’re in the area, come say hi and see me and my art in person!
