Westport Art Fair

This weekend was the Westport art fair the weather was perfect for people to mingle and see all the beautiful art. There were quite a few artist that I liked this year. There was Jan Preston who is a Kansas City native her work hit close to my heart becaust it is collage work canvas streched over objects with carefully selected images chosen to be included. Her shining piece found just inside the booth was six canvas panels painted in an antique style with certain panels streched over found objects I was fascinated. The second artist that I really liked was Andrew Batcheller his work is reminiscent of many album cover art. The images include fish, flowers, skulls, and water. Each painting was brightly colored but all had an undertone of a darker mystery beneath. Many would say it had a Dali esque quality as well. My lat pick is Infinity Green Products they make recycled bags from old banners. The business was started because the owners wanted to teach there children about being environmentally responsible. I appreciate it when I can go to a main stream art show and see people doing things that are consciouncs of the environment. I am looking forward to working with one of the owners Gabriella Saunders in future ventures between our two businesses. If you missed the Westport Art Fair don't miss the Plaza Art Fair and make sure you stop by the Starkers food booth to have the food that won best at last years show.
