I have been exhibiting Literary Calligraphy art prints and stationery at art & craft shows with my wife, Susan Loy, since about 1990. In addition to arts & craft shows, we also exhibit at several flower shows and professional conferences. We travel the eastern U.S., from Florida to Vermont and west as far as Michigan and Illinois. Between us, we exhibit at about 45 shows/year.
Before Literary Calligraphy, I was a business professor at Ferrum College in Virginia. Early in life I caught the travel bug. When Susan came back from Florida art shows with a tan in February, I knew that I had a golden chance to hit the road and get paid, too.
Along the road, I’ve met some interesting people in wonderful places. I’ve met a jeweler who exhibited at Woodstock in 1968. A patron of ours was estranged from his father until they regained communications via a Literary Calligraphy print. These are the type of people whose stories I want to share with you in my “behind the scenes” look at the arts & craft show circuit.
