I’m loaded in and ready for the sip and shop for the next 3 days at Lancaster, NY with Rustic Buffalo! Come on out to this great shopping event! There’s something for everyone here!
I’ve been doing these events with this business for 3 years now. When I first found their store in East Aurora, NY, I knew I wanted to be a part of this. My passion for my art has always been the western , southwestern art . And the name “ Rustic Buffalo” fits right in with this. Plus my happiest memories with my art journey always come back to Buffalo. Years ago I did art for Hunters Hope, the foundation Jim and Jill Kelly created in honor of their son, Hunter. Back then I did pencil portraits and gifted them to families of children affected by Krabbes .
So I jumped into this journey, of course, creating art related to the Buffalo Bills fan base. But I’ve always wanted to merge my art styles of the western art with this company. This year I’ve been creating a lot of things on wood, stone, and marble . So for this event I have quite a bit of these pieces.
I also started to bring in my love for dogs and other animals to this base a couple of years ago. I created a line of coasters that merged the football theme into the dog themes. I got sidetracked in the last year and didn’t keep creating new art for this particular theme. Recently I’ve been getting back to it. Especially the dogs. I created several new popular breeds in coaster art with Starry Night themes. I also have been making wood creations with cute dog designs. For the holiday season I’ll have ornaments as well. I’ve tried to keep my art very original and while my focus in the past couple of years has been towards the Bills and Sabres fan base, I have my dog walking and pet sitting side business and I know there are so many dog lovers out there. I wanted to be able to reach them as well. I’ve been featuring Stella in the Dogs of Buffalo photo series and that made me realize how many sports fans watch the games with their furbabies!
So here’s a look at all of my news things. For this event I have added tributes to the veterans and the 250 year anniversary for the USA. And since it’s harvest season ( almost) I have my Halloween designs as well.
So come on out to this great 3 day event! This is the only event this year I’ll have my Halloween creations at! It’s at the Variety Club in Lancaster, NY. You can look at Rustic Buffalo’s page for more details!
