Maya was chosen to be on one of this year’s banners. Maya’s banner is currently on display at 226 N Main Street adjacent to the outdoor dining area of Mezzaluna Brick Oven & Tap House.

78th Annual Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands – Summer Edition 2025
It was so much fun “doing the fair” for the first time. I’m currently working on signing up for the next one in October.
Thank you to everyone, who stopped by my booth! I feel so honored to be able to meet so many wonderful people and share what I do. A special thank you to anyone, who attended the fair, and is now visiting my website to learn more about me and my work.

GoFigure Guild is a mixed media group that creatively explores the art of the figure and will illustrate how the vision and skill of talented makers can transform figurative art beyond what is typically thought to be a “doll” or a toy. I feel fortunate to have been invited to join the Guild and participate in my first show with them. GoFigure Guild is made up of over 30 artists from Mitchell, Yancey, Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson,Transylvania, and Wilson Counties in North Carolina; Greenville, South Carolina; and Knoxville, Tennessee.
Maxfield (shown here), Alicia and Juniper were all part of this exhibition.
