Filberg Festival 2012

Mary was the guest artist at the Filberg Festival, held in Comox on Vancouver Island in August.

Loved being the Guest Artist at the Filberg Festival, this was the 30th year for the Festival and I can see why it’s such a popular event. Four days in a wonderful park surrounded by really great Artisans with live music to enjoy as well… what could be better. Oh, I know what made it better…. great food as well, gotta love that! I met lots of new people that now have Mary Fox works in their homes, 2 of my sculptures have new digs and was reacquainted with some long time collectors that I haven’t seen in many years. A good time for sure.
