November 17th with Sarah Hiers Design
The first of a series of holiday pop-ups from local artists and vendors is artist Sarah Hiers. Get some holiday shopping done with a cocktail! Grab one the amazing designs from 4pm to 7pm, and grab a drink from 3pm to 9pm on Friday, November 17.
About the vendor: My main goal as an artist is to bring joy and color into people’s homes and lives through unique art that adds an extra dose of fun to every space. My prints are all original drawings that I have done using a method of sharpie and Photoshop. I use a lot of color and fun shapes to highlight each subject’s unique qualities, and my portfolio ranges from bar and kitchen art to nursery decor. I particularly love drawing animals and have found a niche in doing custom pet portraits.
