On my 22nd year of life The 17th Annual Telfair Art Fair was my first official coming-out to the public as a 'professional' artist. I met some interesting people, scared away some others, sold some of my most beloved paintings, acquired some commissions, and had a great time. Here is some of the work which was displayed in my Tent.
