Wow. I’m still buzzing from this past weekend at the Gold Coast Art Fair in Grant Park!

Being out in the sunshine, surrounded by art lovers, friends, family, and collectors — it reminded me exactly why I do what I do. Thank you to everyone who came by Booth 137 to say hello, share your stories, and take home a piece of my world.

Over two days, I met over 100 new collectors, reconnected with longtime supporters, and got to watch people light up as they found artwork that spoke to their spirit. Whether it was a small print, a framed piece, or an original that made someone pause — those moments were magic.

Scroll through to see some of my favorite moments:

💜 Friends and family showing up with love
🖼️ Close-ups of the booth and artwork on the walls
✨ Candid joy, hugs, and connections made

If you weren’t able to attend — I’ve added a few remaining framed prints and originals to the shop!

This fair was a milestone — not just because of the sales (which were amazing 🙌🏽), but because it reminded me that this work connects. That art finds its people.

And I’m just getting started.

Thank you again for being part of this journey — on screen or in person.

With love + paint,
Martha A. Wade
