Showing at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show 2025.

Hello friends and fellow artists. This year I showed work for the first time at RTIA. It was a great time and I wanted to share that experience with you and my thoughts after the show. First of all, thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth space. There were many of you who stopped, took the time to chat and really view my artwork. That meant so much to me. Some of you became my newest collectors. That was exciting being able to meet those of you in person. Online sales are exciting too, but to have the in person experience feels so

This show was in its 4th year and from what I’ve been told has been in development, changing slightly each year. The show itself was well built, the booth spaces were nicely constructed, offering well lit overhead lighting. The whole process, signing up, how easy it was to set up when I arrived on site, back of house storage for extra art and tear down felt like an easy smooth process.

The process to apply online was easy and very straight forward.

I consider myself mostly a self taught painter, and I will give credit to the art university I attended for my title as artist in general. I was influenced by art history and my ideas about art and my place in the art world expanded greatly thanks to my education.
