finding moll art

  Over Memorial Day weekend 2025, my sister Lauren (of  Handmade by Lauren NH ) and I joined a talented group of artisans at the North River Arts Society’s Festival of the Arts . Despite a rainy Saturday, foot traffic was steady, and the energy was great! I debuted a new framed piece—my tulip painting —which was warmly received. My collection of vintage art photos drew plenty of laughs and curious visitors to my tent, while a brand-new item, decoupage lighters , completely sold out. As always, some crowd favorites stood out: my watercolor rendition of  Paddington ,  my watercolor of a floral vase, and my watercolor cannoli paintings were definite hits of the weekend.

Today's market was a success! The day started off rainy, but as the weather turned almost spring-like, the crowds showed up in full force. I brought plenty of mini framed art, including Shreks, Paddingtons, flowers, and chairs—and, as always, Shrek was a fan favorite! Every single flower painting sold out, and one of my personal favorites, a gouache painting of a bird riding on a bear’s back, found many new homes as well. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported my work!

  On a snowy morning, I found myself facing the task of digging out my car, but thankfully, my roommate had already cleared most of the snow away—what a lifesaver! We arrived at the Crystal Ballroom, and I opted to use a dolly and the elevator to transport my items, which was an absolute game changer. Booth space was available, and my sister could join me with her collection of crocheted creations within a mere 20 minutes. I realized I had left my bags and inventory list at home in the morning rush. However, my friend Dan graciously managed the booth for a half-hour while I sorted things out. Throughout the event, it was heartwarming to see so many friends stopping by to catch up. Despite the lingering effects of the snowstorm, the turnout was impressive as the day progressed. I was thrilled to debut my new watercolor painting of a flower bouquet, and to my delight, every framed print I brought along was sold out by the end of the day!!

  Hello again from the Crystal Ballroom! This pre-holiday market we saw shoppers coming out for last minute holiday gifts. A favorite of this market was Paddington Bear watercolor prints, the always popular "Rental Kitchen" acrylic print, and my watercolor cannolis, which were part of my three medium cannoli collection from 2024. 

Thanks to everyone who came out to the 6th annual   @wickedwomenmakersmarket ! This market alone gives me the motivation to create all year long! The positive feedback and joy I get from the shoppers, and the great energy from the other vendors - it can’t be beat.

Chairs chairs and more chairs! My watercolors of chairs did so well at this past Sunday's market that I wish I had made more. This market was so successful, I hope to vend at another Brighton Bazaar event soon. 

I had such a blast at the 4/20 Small Mart Market at the Crystal Ballroom! The Shreks were a hit, and I was thrilled that my original chicken watercolors captured some hearts. It was such a fun day filled with art and good vibes.
