-in 2009 I started on the art festival circuit after a career in advertising and commercial photography, and purchased a 10' trailer to pull my work with my SUV to art shows. I was fortunate enough to be able to exhibit in many highly rated juried art shows that accepted a small percentage of applicants, and my customer base grew as a result.  I then moved up to a larger 14' double axel trailer and went through several vehicles to pull and travel on the road with sleeping accommodations. Perils of the road took their toll many times, with this setup, and it was finally time to go with the new 2015 Ford transit van. After doing upwards of 40,000 miles and 25+ art shows a yea; and breaking down here and there with vehicle or trailer on the way to or from a show is not good! Looking forward to some better travel as I transverse the country this summer. See you down the road, as I begin my 7th year.
